Tesla CEO Elon Musk has announced that his satellite-based communications system, Starlink, will offer support to internationally recognized aid organizations in Gaza. This announcement came in response to a statement by US Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who criticized the cutting off of communication to a population of 2.2 million.

The collapse of phone and internet services during the Israeli bombardment made it difficult for aid groups to communicate with their teams in the Gaza Strip. Starlink, which is operated by Musk’s company SpaceX, aims to address this issue.

Additionally, Starlink was also deployed in Ukraine following the Russian invasion in February 2022, as reported by The Times of Israel. The system has proven to be effective in providing reliable connectivity during critical situations.

Since Elon Musk acquired Twitter and rebranded it as ‘X,’ concerns have arisen about the platform’s credibility and its promotion of falsehoods. X CEO Linda Yaccarino has emphasized the removal of Hamas-affiliated accounts, stating that terrorist organizations have no place on the platform.

Amid the ongoing conflict, Musk also made an announcement last week that all Tesla Superchargers in Israel would be free to use. Tesla Superchargers are a fast-charging network designed for electric cars.
