On Friday, Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk said that they have been granted permission to deliver Starlink terminals and supplies to disaster-stricken areas in North Carolina. However, the approval allegedly met some resistance initially.
What Happened: Musk took to X, formerly Twitter, and complained that SpaceX engineers were barred by the Federal Emergency Management Agency or FEMA from delivering Starlink terminals and supplies.
“SpaceX engineers are trying to deliver Starlink terminals & supplies to devastated areas in North Carolina right now and FEMA is both failing to help AND won't let others help. This is unconscionable,” he said.
He also shared a video showing the extent of the devastation, with roads, houses, electricity, water supply, and ground internet connections destroyed.
