Elon Musk's announcement of free Starlink internet for Hurricane Helene victims comes with significant caveats, requiring a $400 terminal purchase despite claiming it's free.
Starlink's offer of free service for 30 days is only available if users buy a Starlink kit, making it unaffordable for hurricane victims dealing with recovery costs.
The fine print reveals that while Starlink covers subscription fees temporarily, the hardware remains an expensive outlay, questioning the sincerity of Musk's 'free' offer.
IT expert Kenny Baughman criticized Starlink's misleading offer as a 'play on desperation,' highlighting the challenges faced by victims already burdened by recovery expenses.
