Gavin Newsom, Elon Musk Clash Over Wildfires

As wildfires devastate Southern California, political tensions have escalated between California Governor Gavin Newsom and President-elect Donald Trump, with both sides trading blame. Trump accused Newsom of incompetence and demanded his resignation, claiming negligence regarding water resources needed for firefighting efforts and referring to him as 'Newscum.' Newsom responded by calling out Elon Musk for spreading misinformation about the fires, which Musk attributed to poor governance and a shortage of water due to state management issues. President Joe Biden defended Newsom, stating that utility companies were at fault for the water shortages and committing federal resources to aid firefighting efforts. Amid the chaos, Musk criticized Newsom on social media, further fueling the political feud. As the fires continue to escalate, both state and federal leaders are facing scrutiny over their responses and preparedness.
