That bastard Musk is using Twitter to try to convince people FEMA is hurting, not helping, in NC. [View all]

Musk is also going to be at Trump's rally in Butler PA tomorrow, and while he's there as a guest and not a speaker, I suspect Trump will have him on stage to talk about tweets like this:

Elon Musk
@elonmusk

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.”

Besides Musk's attempts to turn people against FEMA, I've seen people posting that NC's sheriffs and police should arrest any FEMA personnel they believe are interfering, and even tweets claiming the "NC State Police" (no such thing) have been ordered to arrest them. These idiots seem to be hoping for a war between local authorities and FEMA.



EDITING to add that there are a lot of complaints from MAGAts on Twitter about blockades they blame on FEMA. Some of this is deliberate misinformation, but some could be from idiots who've paid no attention to why travel is restricted:
