FEMA Actively Seizing Shipments and Blocking Critical Goods and Services Elon Musk is calling out Biden-Harris FEMA in a fiery rant, accusing the federal agency of actively obstructing humanitarian efforts in the wake of widespread devastation in North Carolina.
In a series of explosive posts on X, the furious billionaire CEO revealed that his SpaceX engineers, who are on the ground providing vital communications and supplies via Starlink technology, are being blocked by FEMA from delivering lifesaving resources to victims in Asheville and surrounding areas.
According to Musk, SpaceX has already powered up two large operating bases for helicopters to deliver goods into the hands of those in desperate need.
Theyve deployed more than 300 Starlink terminals, which have been critical in restoring communication for disaster-stricken communities. But instead of support, Musk claims FEMA has been nothing but a roadblock.
Musk wrote on X:
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!
Hey Elon, update here on site of Asheville, NC. We have powered up two large operating bases for choppers to deliver goods into hands. Weve deployed 300+ starlinks and outpour is it has saved many lives.
The big issue is FEMA is actively blocking shipments and seizing goods and services locally and locking them away to state they are their own. Its very real and scary how much they have taken control to stop people helping. 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.
