Elon Musk fans rush to defend Starlink Fans of Elon Musk and avid Starlink users have rushed to defend the service - despite it being down globally for almost four hours. One said: "My spectrum internet goes out once or more a week. This is the first time in a year starlink has been down. Stop complaining about a refund for 1 hour or whatever it will be lol. You really going to complain about 1 hour or $0.17 of service?" Another added: "Starlink, huge company. Brief outage & the owner & CEO immediately apologizes for the interruption and reports to the public that service will soon be restored. Wow!! Never seen Comcast, ATT, Verizon, etc have such incredible customer service, let alone from ownership. Elon rocks!" A third said: "It is wild people are complaining about #Starlink going down for the first ever. We get internet through the air from machines flying through space. We all could use some gratitude and perspective." 22:50
