Elon Musk’s Starlink network is experiencing a worldwide outage, which has left thousands of users without internet, according to reports.

Reports of issues began on Thursday at around 9 pm CET.

 “Starlink is currently in a network outage and we are actively implementing a solution. We appreciate your patience. We’ll share an update once this issue is resolved,” the company posted on social media platform X.

More than 60,000 reports of issues were reported on the Down Detector website, with the majority of users saying there was a “total blackout”.

It is unclear how widespread the outage is or the reason for it. Starlink users on X reported issues from Europe, the United States, Africa, Asia, and Australia. 

Many of them said that their connections are offline, and an error message reads that there is “no healthy upstream”.

For some countries and governments, such as Ukraine’s army, they rely on Starlink for internet access. It is unclear how they will be affected.

Musk wrote on X “Service will be restored shortly. Sorry for the outage. SpaceX will remedy root cause to ensure it doesn’t happen again,” Musk wrote on X.
