Musk's Starlink satellite internet service is being used by the state of Florida to expand internet access in areas devastated by Hurricane Matthew.
Hurricane Ian is moving through the Caribbean Sea. The photo was taken by NASA.
The company plans to send 120 large Starlink units to Florida, which will serve as satellite dishes to distribute internet connections to devices within a 13 mile area.
Dozens have died and coastal communities have been left devastated after taking a direct hit from Category 4 Hurricane Ian.
Access to Starlink units will be prioritized for search and rescue crews.
The costs associated with all the coverage are covered by Starlink.
The U.S. allowed Starlink to start providing service to Iran after the government cracked down on internet access in the wake of a woman's death in police custody. A Ukrainian official said in May that 150,000 people in the country were using Starlink internet every day. Photographs from southwest Florida show that coastal communities have been destroyed. The goal of Starlink is to provide internet access to areas where ground services are unreliable or unavailable.
There was a significant increase in the number of people who said that. According to Power Outage.us, there is a lot of Lee County without power. Fort Myers and Sanibel are included in the county's population of more than seven hundred thousand.
The lack of ability to access terminal in Iran has been criticized for having little impact on internet availability.
It is estimated that Musk is the richest man in the world.
Musk may bring internet service to Iran in the future.
The Florida areas are the hardest hit by the category four storm.
The protests in Iran will not be affected by Starlink.
The death toll from Hurricane Ian will likely climb higher in Florida.
