Elon Musk Deploys 11 Cybertrucks with Starlink and Free WiFi to Aid Los Angeles Wildfire Victims
Jan 13, 2025, 01:36 AM
Elon Musk has initiated a relief effort in response to the wildfires ravaging Los Angeles and Malibu, utilizing Tesla Cybertrucks and Starlink technology to provide essential services to affected areas. The Cybertrucks, equipped with Starlink terminals, are being used as mobile base stations to offer free internet connectivity in regions where communication infrastructure has been compromised by the fires. A convoy of 11 Cybertrucks has been deployed, with Musk personally involved in delivering Starlink terminals to firefighters battling the Palisades Fire. Additionally, Tesla has donated multiple Cybertrucks to serve as battery banks for the Altadena Mountain Rescue station, aiding in their operations during the 14,200-acre Eaton Fire. Musk has also announced plans to position Cybertrucks in a grid pattern across the most impacted areas, providing not only internet but also free WiFi, along with snacks and beverages. This initiative follows Musk's earlier commitment to deliver free Starlink terminals to fire-stricken regions, emphasizing the potential life-saving impact of the project despite some criticism from Californians. The effort is part of a broader conversation about leveraging technology to combat wildfires more effectively, with Musk criticizing California's regulations for hindering preventive measures against such disasters.
