Muskrat sends Tesla Cybertrucks and Starlink terminals to help California's wildfire response
After repeatedly bashing California’s response to the raging wildfires blazing through Los Angeles County, Elon Musk used his Tesla (TSLA) and SpaceX to lend responders a hand.
The Tesla and SpaceX CEO on Sunday said he would send several Cybertruck electric trucks outfitted with Starlink satellite internet terminals to the affected area. Musk also live-streamed a private briefing with local police to discuss the Palisades fire, which caused eight deaths, to his 211 million followers on X, formerly Twitter.
“We are going to position Cybertrucks with Starlinks and free WiFi in a grid pattern in the areas that most need it in the greater LA/Malibu area,” Musk wrote on X, his social media platform.
In its own post, Tesla summarized the extent of its efforts in supporting employees and communities impacted by the wildfires; the automaker said it was covering housing accommodations for employees, deploying charging stations and mobile power wall units, and handing out eight Cybertrucks. Musk wrote that customers expecting their new electric pickups “over the next few days” would receive them by the end of the week.
