Starlink was offered for free to those hit by Hurricane Helene. It is not actually free

theregister.com/2024/10/08/elon_musks_free_starlink_hurricane_helene/

Quick Glance: Misleading Starlink Offer Following Hurricane Helene

The free Starlink service promised by Elon Musk for Hurricane Helene-affected communities is misleading, as hardware costs remain.

Despite advertising a 30-day free trial, users must pay for the terminal, raising total costs to nearly $400.

Critics argue that the offer is more about acquiring new customers than providing genuine assistance, with unclear conditions.

Furthermore, challenges persist for affected individuals in accessing this service, particularly in areas with limited internet connectivity.

Elon Musk's Starlink charges Hurricane Helene survivors $400 for 'free' internet service

Quick Glance: Starlink Charges for Internet After Hurricane Helene

Elon Musk promised 30 days of free Starlink access for Hurricane Helene victims but did not mention a $400 fee for the hardware.

Despite Starlink's announcement of free service, users in disaster-hit areas were still required to pay for the satellite dish and shipping.

Critics labeled the offer as misleading, noting that many victims lacked power to operate the device.

The situation was exacerbated by the impending arrival of another storm, Milton, as recovery efforts from Helene continued.

The 2024 presidential election is characterized by deep polarization, particularly regarding Donald Trump.

Trump's campaign is misleadingly presented as policy-focused, despite a lack of concrete proposals and reliance on general themes.

Surveys indicate that many Americans believe Trump's policies cannot be separated from his personal qualities, which obscures his toxic rhetoric.

The notion that undecided voters need more focus on policy may often be a cover for their indifference to politics.
