Elon Musk has accused the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) of hindering SpaceX’s relief efforts in North Carolina following recent natural disasters.
In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Musk shared a message from a SpaceX engineer, who alleged that FEMA was blocking shipments of Starlink units and other supplies intended to assist disaster-stricken areas.
Musk, CEO of SpaceX, quoted the engineer in his post, stating, “FEMA is not merely failing to help but is actively blocking citizens who try to help!”

According to the message, SpaceX had deployed over 300 Starlink units, which had already restored internet access in affected regions and saved lives. However, further shipments of the Starlink units were reportedly being delayed by FEMA until local authorities provided an escort.
Just received this note from a SpaceX engineer helping on the ground in North Carolina. @FEMA is not merely failing to adequately help people in trouble, but is actively blocking citizens who try to help!

The allegations have sparked growing concerns over FEMA’s role in disaster recovery efforts, with critics questioning the agency’s coordination with private entities like SpaceX.
Whistleblowers have also come forward, claiming that FEMA withheld pre-disaster aid, exacerbating the crisis in North Carolina.
These claims have added to the scrutiny of FEMA’s response and raised questions about its efficiency in managing large-scale disaster relief.
Musk’s accusations have garnered widespread attention, particularly as SpaceX’s Starlink system is seen as a critical tool in restoring communication networks in disaster-hit areas.
SpaceX engineers are trying to deliver Starlink terminals & supplies to devastated areas in North Carolina right now and @FEMA is both failing to help AND won’t let others help. This is unconscionable!!

The company’s technology has been used in various humanitarian efforts to provide internet access in remote and heavily impacted locations.
As of now, FEMA has not responded to the accusations made by Musk or the whistleblower reports, leaving several unanswered questions about its disaster response strategies.

Impeach? He needs prosecuted, has not anyone figured it out yet? The fed wants these people gone, they are Trump supporters they won’t vote for harris piece of garbage call girl.
Why? There is FACTUAL, OBSERVABLE evidence he is guilty of life sentence if not death if evidence shows treason; and FACTUAL, OBSERVABLE EVIDENCE that he is above the law in our completely corrupt INJUSTICE system. This arrogant ass needs to be tried and a just sentence executed by a bipartisan military tribune and jury of HONEST citizens themselves…if there are any left.
FEMA was robbed of billions of dollars by senile, demented, old sniffy Joe Biden, Commie-la Harris and other democRATS to make sure that illegal alien invaders have free housing (5 star hotels in NYC), free food, free health care and free debit cards so they can afford their booze and drugs. Meanwhile, the victims of hurricane Helene of whom many lost everything they own are struggling just to find any where to sleep, to find water and food. Then the feckless clown Commie-la Harris shows up five days afterward (she was too busy sucking up to her rich elite Hollywood celebrity friends) and offers the victims a whopping $750 to try and put their lives back together. Then she hops back on her jet and offf to another fundraiser. What a disgrace, insult and slap in the face of the hurricane victims. But what else do we expect of DemocRATS who place more worth of millions of illegal alien invaders who have no right to be in this country than our own citizens?
That whole rotten reg8me was in on it, including the warmongering Congress.
Sooner or later the sheep are going to realize this admin wants you dead. Literally. And you’re paying for it.
Russian, China, Iran, N Korea Hell these guys are my friends compared to the criminal commies in charge here.
I agree! I can’t say this for Iran, China, or N.Korea, but I would rather live in Russia under Putin than under the Biden Regime another four years. Putin may be a political dictator and thug, but communism collapsed in the 80s and Russia has been a democracy for some 40 years. Russia has thrived under Putin’s leadership and he hasn’t sold out his people for drug cartels, foreign invaders, Muslim terrorists, alphabet tyrants, or the one world government/WEF crowd. Compared to this administration, Putin is a saint.
And there we have it. In FIVE DAYS, the most comprehensive exposure of the damage is provided by Elon Musk’s team and posted on X. Main Stream Media gives us nothing but lie after lie after lie and/or censorship, propaganda, and intentional withholding of information.
Thank you, Elon! After you get the federal spending whipped into shape, please tackle a way to get truth to the people so we can make wise decisions based on facts and not Deep State shape shifting,
