Tesla $TSLA CEO Elon Musk said on Wednesday (Jan. 8) that SpaceX would offer free Starlink terminals to areas of Los Angeles where wildfires disrupted people's communications services.
California, specifically Los Angeles County, has been struck by multiple wildfires this week. More than 100,000 people were ordered to evacuate as the fires continued.
Musk said on social media that SpaceX would give free Starlink terminals to the hit areas of Los Angeles on Jan. 9. Starlink uses a set of satellites to maintain telecom coverage that is largely immune to terrestrial disruptions. Several news organizations in the area that lost communication services have reportedly already used Starlink.
Additionally, Musk criticized the California state government, specifically Governor Gavin Newsom, for allegedly failing to prevent the crisis.
