Tesla co-founder and CEO Elon Musk on Sunday announced that he was delaying the delivery of several Cybertrucks in Los Angeles, in order to help provide internet for Southern California communities who remain without power.
A series of wildfires began raging through Los Angeles last week and have resulted in more than 10,000 structures and homes having been damaged or burnt down. More than 35,000 residents remain without power as of Monday, per CBS News.
Musk apologized to the customers who were longingly anticipating their vehicles’ arrivals, but said replacement trucks will be delivered by the end of the week. Cybertrucks can provide backup power to a home for up to three days, according to Tesla’s website.
“Apologies to those expecting Cybertruck deliveries in California over the next few days,” Musk said in a post on X. “We need to use those trucks as mobile base stations to provide power to Starlink Internet terminals in areas of LA without connectivity. A new truck will be delivered end of week.”
Musk said the vehicles will be positioned with Starlinks and free WiFi in the greater Los Angeles and Malibu areas. […]

At Last, a Company With Integrity in the Gold IRA Industry
For several years, I’ve been vetting out precious metals companies in search of the best. I believe in gold and silver but it’s hard to find integrity in the Gold IRA industry. The vast majority operate with shady tactics and gigantic spreads that take advantage of Americans who simply want to protect their life’s savings.
I’ve found a handful that I like and I’ve worked with some of them. By no means would I “unrecommend” them because, again, I vetted them out and found them to be above the fold. Unfortunately, it isn’t hard to be better than the rest when the rest are so darn awful.
After years of searching, I finally found a company that truly operates with integrity. Augusta Precious Metals has three important attributes that set them far above the competition:
- Non-Commissioned Sales Team: I cannot stress how important and unique this is. With just about every other company in the Gold IRA industry, the sales teams make commission from every account they open. This means they steer their clients toward the gold and silver products with the highest commission. With Augusta Precious Metals, the team is solely focused on putting the best gold and silver for their clients into their IRA. They get paid to serve the best interests of the Gold IRA client, NOT their own commission pay.
- Incredibly Low Fees: Most Americans would be shocked if they knew the spread other Gold IRA companies charge. Augusta charges just 5% versus up to 45% elsewhere.
- No Pressure, No Gimmicks: There’s an understanding among most in the Gold IRA industry that fear and pressure is the way to go. Augusta Precious Metals takes a sober approach when working with clients because they hold integrity in the highest possible regard. This is why they don’t offer gimmicks like “free” or “bonus” silver. It’s also why they do not apply pressure tactics to get quick sales. Their educational and transparent approach to doing business is exceedingly rare in the Gold IRA industry.
