Elon Musk, the billionaire entrepreneur behind Tesla and SpaceX, has once again found himself at the centre of a heated debate after unveiling plans to deploy Tesla Cybertrucks and Starlink technology to provide free internet to wildfire-stricken areas in California. His announcement has sparked polarising reactions, reflecting the mixed opinions surrounding his efforts.
Taking to X, the social media platform he owns, Musk shared the plans, which included a delay in Cybertruck deliveries. "Apologies to those expecting Cybertruck deliveries in California over the next few days," he wrote. "We need to use those trucks as mobile base stations to provide power to Starlink Internet terminals in areas of LA without connectivity. A new truck will be delivered end of week."
