Elon Musk to donate platform X’s Ad revenue to Israeli hospitals-war hit Gaza
Elon Musk declared that the hospitals in Israel and the war-torn Gaza will receive donations from his social media platform X.
“X Corp will be donating all revenue from advertising & subscriptions associated with the war in Gaza to hospitals in Israel and the Red Cross/Crescent in Gaza,” Mr Musk wrote on X, formerly Twitter.
The announcement is made in the midst of intense combat between Gaza’s ruling Hamas organization and the Israel Defense Force. In the small, densely populated Gaza Strip, Israeli bombardment has claimed the lives of over 13,000 people till date.
War and a lack of essential supplies have shut down hospitals, including the largest hospital in Gaza, Al Shifa. Israel alleges that Hamas hides fighters and military command posts within its borders; both Hamas and hospital personnel refute this assertion.
Elon Musk stated last month that Starlink would connect authorized relief organizations in Gaza, which were having trouble since the area’s internet and communications had been cut off.
SpaceX, Elon Musk’s space flight company, developed the Starlink satellite network to offer affordable internet to remote areas. SpaceX plans to eventually have as many as 42,000 satellites in this so-called megaconstellation. A Starlink satellite has a lifespan of roughly five years.
