Here’s the full post from Musk:

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. We’ve 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. It’s 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.”

Former President (and perhaps the unofficial current one) Barack Obama will be hitting the campaign trail on behalf of Kamala Harris, and his former adviser at the White House said something on his podcast about the storm and government’s response that’s quite telling: 

“Quiet part out loud” alert!

Not only do they occasionally say it out loud but once in a while it even sounds like they’re bragging about it.
