Biden-Harris’ FCC Nuked 20,000 Starlink Terminals For North Carolina That Could’ve Saved Lives 

On Monday, the North Carolina State Climate Office said Hurricane Helene was a “monster storm” that unleashed every “worst-case scenario” for western North Carolina. 

Ashville Mayor Esther Manheimer told CNN’s The Source with Kaitlan Collins on Monday that over 600 people are unaccounted for. 

Some towns have been wiped off the map after torrential rains dumped from Helene unleashed ‘biblical’ floods.

Power outages across western North Carolina remain widespread on Tuesday morning. Folks on X are saying entire cellular networks have been damaged as a humanitarian crisis unfolds. 

Dear @elonmusk we need help in Western North Carolina. We have no power, no water, and very little communications. We are having to travel miles to get gas, food, and have cell service. All of the citizens and emergency services sure could use some Starlink service. 🙏 pic.twitter.com/fZgfE8rs5A

Western North Carolina has been hit hard by the recent hurricane! Still no internet or cell service in my area. I’m actually at a nearby university getting onto their Internet. The gas stations are running out of gas, stores are running out of food in Western North Carolina. pic.twitter.com/jCUmsab9tq

Helene shows how fragile modern society is when a monster storm invades the Appalachian region. Yet, Elon Musk’s space internet company could’ve supplied residents with Starlink terminals over the years through a rural federal program. However, the Biden administration’s weaponization of the FCC blocked nearly 20,000 terminals for the state that would’ve been crucial communication links for residents that have been cut off from the world. 

WEAPONIZATION: Remember the Biden-Harris regime blocked almost 20,000 North Carolina residents from having Starlink to punish Elon Musk for failing to support their regime. Meanwhile the regime had the FCC ignore the law and its own rules to expedite George Soros’s takeover of… https://t.co/MyE7lWIVjY

But-But-But.

Also on Monday, former President Trump visited Valdosta, Ga., where he toured storm-ravaged neighborhoods. He told the press that he spoke to Musk about providing Starlink terminals for disaster areas. 

This collaboration between @Starlink and other private sector actors and Trump, is private industry at its best! Starlink should not face such scrutiny from the FCC. We should be celebrating starlink as an American company innovating, endlessly! https://t.co/S5xiA9jG4i

Musk tweeted:

Since the Hurricane Helene disaster, SpaceX has sent as many Starlink terminals as possible to help areas in need.

Earlier today, @realDonaldTrump alerted me to additional people who need Starlink Internet in North Carolina. We are sending them terminals right away.

Here’s what X users are saying about the weaponization of Biden’s FCC against Musk’s Starlink: 

The FCC needs to be investigated over this.

I’d love to see the state’s Attorney General file a lawsuit against the FCC for misconduct.

All because of politics. Starship 5 test grounded too because of some nonsense. If you told them Starship could ship millions of Haitians to our shores that would change their minds real fast.

The FCC should be held responsible for
obstructing Elon Musk’s@SpaceX from
delivering fast internet connection to the American citizens
especially in regions prone to natural disasters.@Starlink saves lives.
FAA must answer also about stopping Starship and harming progress.

This is yet another classic example of elections having real-world consequences. Starlink terminals, by the thousands, could’ve been operating across the storm-damaged area; instead, the far-left in the Biden-Harris camp were hellbent on weaponizing federal agencies against Musk’s companies over his ‘free speech’ X platform. This is insane.
