Billionaire Elon Musk criticized the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) for its response to the deadly hurricane ravaging several U.S. states.
In a tweet, Musk accused FEMA of purposely withholding aid from residents in need and “actively blocking” Starlink satellite internet deliveries to damaged areas hit by the storm after receiving a notice from the company’s engineer is “actively blocking shipments and seizing goods and services locally and locking them away to state they are their own.”
“FEMA is not merely failing to adequately help people in trouble, but is actively blocking citizens who try to help!" Musk wrote on X.
The billionaire called it “scary” how much FEMA has “taken control” and stopped helping people who have lost nearly everything in the storm.
“We are blocked now on the shipments of new Starlinks coming in until we get an escort from the fire dept. But that may not be enough,” Musk continued.
