Elon Musk has said that the powerful geomagnetic storm hitting Earth right now is putting Starlink satellites under tremendous strain.
Conditions reached level 5 on the 5-point scale of geomagnetic activity on Friday evening, according to the Space Weather Prediction Center (SWPC) which says its satellites observed an "extreme" event -- the first such storm to reach that level since October 2003.
"Major geomagnetic solar storm happening right now. Biggest in a long time," Musk wrote on X, formerly Twitter early this morning. "Starlink satellites are under a lot of pressure, but holding up so far."
Starlink, the satellite arm of Elon Musk's SpaceX, warned on its website Saturday morning that it was experiencing "degraded service," though it didn't give further details. Fox Business has reached out to SpaceX for comment.
