Hurricane Ian is passing through the continental United States, which is also one of the strongest storms to hit the United States on record, and has flooded communities on the Gulf Coast. Hurricane Ian is currently moving from Florida to the Carolinas.

　　According to official statistics, more than 2.6 million homes and businesses in Florida are still without power. In hard-hit Charlotte County, a spokeswoman for the sheriff's department confirmed multiple deaths, but no exact numbers were available.

　　It can also be seen on social media that many people said that roads, buildings and vehicles in the area were flooded or submerged. And cellphone service is often interrupted due to the damage to the infrastructure, making contact and rescue even more difficult.

　　U.S. President Joe Biden said in a speech at Federal Emergency Management Agency headquarters in Washington on Thursday that Ian could prove to be the deadliest disaster in Florida's history and said he would travel to the disaster area in person if conditions allowed.

　　Natural disasters affect the hearts of Americans, but Musk, the richest man, took the opportunity to advertise his products at this time.

　　Identify opportunities for marketing

　　On Thursday, Musk tweeted that Starlink's maritime system would enable high-speed Internet connectivity even in high waves and hurricanes, before adding: "It will work on land, of course."

　　In addition, he further promoted Tesla's new model, the Cybertruck, saying that the car is super waterproof, can be used as a boat, can cross rivers, lakes, and even calm of the ocean.

　　He also added that the Cyberpick would be able to sail from Starbase (the headquarters of the SpaceX rocket company) to South Padre Island, with a strait in between.

　　In Musk's tweet comments, some netizens replied to him: It sounds good, but when can you deliver it?

　　Others sarcastically said that it sounds a lot like Musk's promise to settle on Mars within ten years.

　　Others 'encouraged' him: why not go a little bit bolder, like taking a truck across the English Channel?

　　Artificial Intelligence Day

　　However, this is also a marketing tool that the richest man usually does. Tesla will hold an AI artificial intelligence day on Friday, and Cybertruck is expected to appear on the platform.

　　In addition to the Cyberpick, the Optimus humanoid robot and Tesla's full self-driving system are also expected to meet the public on Friday.
