“SpaceX will provide free Starlink terminals to affected areas in LA tomorrow morning,” Musk said in a post on social media site X. Local media reports said that several news agencies were already using Starlink in the area, due to disruptions in cell services from the wildfires.

The SpaceX founder said on Wednesday night that the rocket company would provide the terminals to areas hit by the huge wildfires.

The massive wildfires at the plush towns of California's Los Angeles, housing celebrity residences, has killed five people, burnt down thousands of structures and evacuated thousands. The developments prompted outgoing US President Biden to cancel his last foreign trip.
