Interesting. Elon Musk has lost dozens of satellites launched into space last week after a geomagnetic storm caused them to fall out of orbit and disintegrate, his company SpaceX has announced.
Things that make you go hmmm. Musk a white hat? I can't bring myself to believe that.

Me neither, never did. Sketchy family background. No-one gets this rich and powerful who is not in the club.
Sounds a bit strange that satellites, designed for space, could be brought down by phenomena found in space. Like a car being destroyed by heavy rain.
No shit! Caveat:- I have not looked into this yet.
Did it change their orbital profile as well? Crashing into the atmosphere would require a re-entry burn. WTF?
EDIT:- In an operatic voice:- "Spaceforce" ??
Haha, when you don’t know about how things work, you guess, and it makes you skeptical, because you’re guessing.
Magnetosphere is weakened and there’s a hole in it near Florida, Brazil.
That’s been like that for a while.
The poles haven’t switched, they’ve been meandering though, has nothing to do with protection from the suns radiation.
You know, even if we assume that it was a geological storm...
Doesn't this mean Starlink is fated to fail no matter what?
Who would invest money in this if every now and then 40 of them will just drop out of the sky.
Why hasn't Tesla's stocks dipped in response to this news? I know I'd pull my money out of this if it's that vulnerable to natural events.
