As fires rage in California, Musk announced that SpaceX will supply free Starlink terminals to impacted areas in Los Angeles.
As raging fires ravage California, leaving a trail of destruction in their wake, wealthy business magnate Elon Musk announced that SpaceX will supply free Starlink terminals to impacted areas in Los Angeles. He made the announcement when retweeting footage of a reporter crediting Starlink internet service with connectivity.
Musk has claimed that wildfires in the Golden State could have been prevented, but regulations get in the way of taking steps to prevent the infernos. "These fires are easily avoidable, but nonsense regulations in California prevent action being taken, so year after year homes burn down and more people die," Musk declared in a post on X. "My friend just texted me that his house burned down again. His old house also burned down in an uncontrolled wildfire several years ago.
In another post he asserted that "crazy environmental regulations prevent building fire breaks and clearing brush near houses," which "allows massive fires to get going."
