United plans to roll out its first Starlink-equipped plane as early as spring. It joins a handful of other airlines inking deals for Musk's WiFi.

United Airlines says in-flight Wi-Fi through Starlink will eventually be available on all United flights on seat-back screens and personal devices.

As fires rage in California, Musk announced that SpaceX will supply free Starlink terminals to impacted areas in Los Angeles.

The massive wildfires at the plush towns of California's Los Angeles, housing celebrity residences, has killed five people, burnt down thousands of structures and evacuated thousands. The developments prompted outgoing US President Biden to cancel his last foreign trip.

The SpaceX founder said on Wednesday night that the rocket company would provide the terminals to areas hit by the huge wildfires.
