Elon Musk has accused the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) of obstructing relief efforts in North Carolina following Hurricane Helene, claiming that FEMA has actively blocked SpaceX engineers from delivering Starlink terminals and other critical supplies to affected areas. He shared messages from a SpaceX engineer alleging that FEMA was preventing landings and confiscating shipments. FEMA, however, has denied these accusations, stating they have been actively assisting with relief efforts and distributing resources, including deploying millions of meals, liters of water, and utilizing Starlink in past responses. Despite these denials, reports from other volunteers and helicopter pilots corroborate Musk's claims of relief efforts being hindered. The situation has garnered significant public attention, coinciding with the tragic aftermath of the hurricane, which has resulted in over 200 fatalities across multiple states.
