Elon Musk said SpaceX and Tesla are “providing direct assistance where feasible” in Texas after the deadly impact of winter weather overpowered the electrical grid and left millions in the dark and without heat.
On Twitter, Musk composed that SpaceX has been assisting in south Texas while Tesla has been assisting in central Texas, including saving cold-stunned turtles and aiding power a water treatment plant.
Be that as it may, Musk encouraged his Twitter followers to tell the organizations by what other method they can help during this unprecedented time.
“Please let us know if we may be helpful in other ways,” he wrote.
The comments came soon after the business magnate criticized the Electricity Reliability Council of Texas(ERCOT) for a statewide power outage that left millions looking for warmth in the midst of sharply chilly temperatures.
Musk tweeted that Texas’ power grid manager isn’t acquiring the “R” in the abbreviation.
Adding to the state’s misery, the weather jeopardized drinking water systems. Authorities ordered 7 million individuals — a fourth of the number of inhabitants in the country’s second-biggest state — to boil tap water prior to drinking it, following record low temperatures that harmed infrastructure and pipes.
