Elon Musk announced that he would provide victims of Hurricane Helene with 30 days of free access to his Starlink satellite internet service. However, he did not mention that survivors of the devastating storm, which has killed over 200 people, would still need to pay $400 for the system's hardware.
Starlink, a subsidiary of Musk's SpaceX, announced on its X page last week that its service would be "free for 30 days" for survivors of Helene living in areas where phone and fibre cables had been damaged, cutting off their internet access.
