New Zealand has been facing a severe outage of communication due to Cyclone Gabrielle and the SpaceX Starlink is coordinating with the government to support connectivity with its satellite powered network.

SpaceX wrote on Twitter “The Starlink team is coordinating with @NZcivildefence and other partners in New Zealand to support connectivity during recovery efforts after Cyclone Gabrielle

During the storm, while some users experienced brief outages as a result of ground station failovers, Starlink was able to maintain >99% network uptime across New Zealand”

On Tuesday, New Zealand declared a national state of emergency for only the third time in its history. The first one was announced during an earthquake in 2011 and the second one during COVID-19 in 2020.

While the latest disaster is causing havoc in the country including widespread flooding, landslides, and ocean swells is endangering people’s lives and forcing them to flee or strand on their roofs.

Prime Minister of New Zealand told “The severity and the breadth of the damage that we are seeing has not been experienced in a generation”

The situation is so serious and people are facing a severe shortage of power and consumables in parts of the affected area. About 225,000 people were left without electricity, while dozens of supermarkets closed, with Hipkins urging New Zealanders not to panic-buy supplies.

In this time of crisis, SpaceX could be a lifesaver to restore communication and provide essential information across the board as it doesn’t require much space to operate as well as energy.

Today, Elon Musk attended the Super Bowl and the opening match caught him wearing a Dogecoin T-shirt, as he was spotted aside from Fox News owner Rupert Murdoch.

A Twitter user wrote “Elon Musk is sitting next to Fox News owner Rupert Murdoch at the SuperBowl. What are they talking about? Wrong answers only.” Elon replied in one word “Dogecoin”

Elon Musk reveals a lot of things about his past and he recently revealed an interesting fact that he ate at Palo Alto’s Jack in the Box with his brother, Kimbal Musk when these two were building Zip2.

Elon wrote: “My bro and I mostly ate at the Palo Alto Jack in the Box while building Zip2. It was affordable due to some food hygiene issues (subsequently corrected!) and open late at night.”

Zip2 was a company that provided and licensed online city guide software to newspapers. The company was founded in Palo Alto, California as Global Link Information Network in 1995. The latest revelation is golden ticket to Elon’s memory lane.
