Billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk is planning to use Tesla Cybertrucks and Starlink technology to provide free internet to areas devastated by wildfires in California.
Musk, who is the CEO of both Tesla and Starlink, wrote in a post on X, another one of his companies, that Cybertruck deliveries would be delayed over the next few days.
“Apologies to those expecting Cybertruck deliveries in California over the next few days,” he wrote. “We need to use those trucks as mobile base stations to provide power to Starlink Internet terminals in areas of LA without connectivity. A new truck will be delivered end of week.”
In another post, Musk said Cybertrucks outfitted with Starlink and free internet would be positioned in a grid pattern in areas that need the technology the most, throughout Greater Los Angeles and Malibu.

Musk also said security personnel would be added to the Cybertrucks, along with snacks and beverages for people passing by.
The move comes three days after Musk announced he would be providing free Starlink terminals to areas in Los Angeles.
He made the announcement when retweeting footage of a reporter crediting Starlink internet service with connectivity.
