Elon Musk offered help to Turkey through Starlink
Elon Musk, "The Turkish government does not approve, I can send our SpaceX company Starlink satellites to Turkey."
Turkey was hit by a big earthquake. Many people have lost their lives and many are injured. Search and rescue efforts continue for most people trapped under the rubble. Debris removal works and rescue teams in the region continue their work at full speed, but the lack of infrastructure, inoperative networks and bad weather conditions worsen the situation. Elon Musk has shared a tweet regarding the situation when someone asked for Starlink.
