SpaceX to provide free Starlink terminals to Los Angeles as wildfires grow

Elon Musk said on Thursday that his company SpaceX will provide free Starlink terminals to affected areas in Los Angeles in the morning.

“SpaceX will provide free Starlink terminals to affected areas in LA tomorrow morning,” he posted on X on January 9.

More than 100,000 people were ordered to evacuate as dry, hurricane-force winds hindered firefighting operations and spread the fires, which have burned parched terrain almost unimpeded since they began on Tuesday.
