San Francisco, October 11: Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk on Wednesday said that all the Tesla superchargers in Israel are now free. The tech billionaire further said that he hopes that “electricity and essential services are rapidly restored to Gaza”. “I would like to help those in Gaza who want peace, but have no way to do so. In general, I want all humans to be happy and prosperous, without regard to race, creed, religion or anything else,” posted Musk.

A follower commented: “You just hope? I mean you can’t send some basic essentials to Gaza but Tesla Superchargers are free in Israel?” Another requested Musk, saying do something to stop this war as “powerful people like you can be heard worldwide”. The humanitarian situation in Gaza is "catastrophic" and hospitals are overwhelmed, Doctors Without Borders said, noting Israeli bombing of the enclave did not spare medical facilities. EU Warns Elon Musk to Stop Disinformation on X After Hamas Attacks in Israel.
