As wildfires continue to devastate Los Angeles County, Elon Musk has stepped up to offer critical support. The billionaire entrepreneur announced that free Starlink terminals will be made available to provide internet connectivity in areas affected by the fires.
Starlink, a satellite internet service operated by Musk’s company SpaceX, aims to ensure that evacuees, first responders, and emergency shelters can stay connected during the crisis. This move comes as traditional communication systems face disruption due to the widespread destruction caused by the fires.
“Connectivity is crucial in times of crisis,” Musk tweeted, emphasizing the importance of communication for coordinating relief efforts and keeping families informed.
Local authorities and emergency services have welcomed Musk’s gesture, calling it a valuable resource for both displaced residents and those on the frontlines of firefighting efforts.
The offer underscores the growing role of technology in disaster management, as innovative solutions like Starlink prove essential in times of need.
