Elon Musk falsely claimed that if the FCC had agreed to give Starlink a billion dollars , there’d be nearly 20,000 working satellite kits in areas impacted by Hurricane Helene .
He falsely accuses the FCC of killing people and breaking the law, adding “lawfare costs lives” There was nothing illegal about the FCC ’s decision.
The conspiratorial CEO claims he did actually send some Starlink terminals to the powerless region.
It's not entirely clear if anybody actually confirmed delivery.
Usually what winds up being the most help in disasters like this (after food and water) are good old traditional HAM radio operators, who help orchestrate basic coordination when all other options are out of commission.
