United States of America tech billionaire Elon Musk has apologised after his firm, SpaceX Starlink, a satellite internet provider, suffered a 2.5-hour disruption of high-speed internet service globally on Thursday night.

Musk, in a post via his X account, said he was “sorry” as he addressed the issue.

Recall that SpaceX’s Starlink satellite internet suffered one of its biggest international outages, knocking tens of thousands of users offline.

This came as a result of a failure of internal software services.

Reacting, Musk promised that SpaceX will resolve the root cause and make sure it doesn’t happen again in the future.

“Sorry for the outage. SpaceX will remedy root cause to ensure it doesn’t happen again,” Musk wrote.

SpaceX has launched more than 8,000 Starlink satellites since 2020.

In Nigeria, Starlink officially resumed activations for customers nationwide last month.

According to the US firm, high-demand customers in Lagos and Abuja, among other cities, are at the forefront of its revival.

Recall that between October and November last year, Starlink temporarily paused activations of new customers over regulatory approvals.

This followed the internet company, with over 60,000 subscribers, arbitrarily increasing its subscription prices without the Nigerian Communications Commission’s approval in October 2024.
