LA Unstoppable Wildfires Day 6: Elon Musk's Cybertrucks To Douse Biggest Fire of Pacific Palicades

Elon Musk is stepping up to assist California amid the devastating wildfires, using his companies, Tesla and Starlink, to provide essential services. Musk announced plans to use Tesla Cybertrucks equipped with Starlink technology to deliver free internet to areas without connectivity in Los Angeles and Malibu. The initiative will allow the trucks to serve as mobile base stations, offering power and internet to affected regions. This comes shortly after Musk's decision to supply free Starlink terminals in areas where cell service has been lost. Additionally, billionaire hedge fund manager Bill Ackman suggested using satellites, drones, and AI to prevent and manage wildfires. Despite mixed reactions, Musk emphasized the importance of helping communities and saving lives. #ElonMusk #TeslaCybertruck #Starlink #CaliforniaFires #WildfireRelief #FreeInternet #LosAngeles #Malibu #FirePrevention #TechnologyForGood #CybertruckAid #MuskInitiative #SpaceX #BillAckman #TechInnovation Also Read Elon Musk Sends Cybertrucks And Starlink To Boost L.A.

ISRO Delays SpaDeX Mission by 2 Minutes Due to Space "Traffic Jam" Caused by Musk's SpaceX Satellite [Video]

ISRO Delays SpaDeX Mission by 2 Minutes Due to Space "Traffic Jam" Caused by Musk's SpaceX Satellite

The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) was forced to delay the launch of its SpaDeX mission by two minutes due to a "traffic jam" in space, caused by a satellite from Elon Musk's SpaceX. The delay, which was a precautionary measure, was taken to avoid potential collision risks with the SpaceX satellite already in orbit. SpaceX, through its Starlink project, has been rapidly expanding its satellite network, leading to congestion in low Earth orbit, and raising concerns about satellite collisions and space traffic management. ISRO's decision highlights the increasing challenges of managing space traffic as private satellite companies like SpaceX continue to launch more satellites into space. #SpaDeXMission #ISROSpaDeX #ISROMission #SpaceMission #ISRO2024 #SpaDeXLaunch #ISROSpaceMission #GaganyaanMission #ISROMarsMission #ISROMoonMission #SpaceXTrafficJam #SpaceTrafficManagement #ISROMissionUpdate #ISRONewMission #MarsMission
