Trump Says He’s Working With Musk to Get Starlink to Areas Hit by Hurricane Helene

Former President Donald Trump announced Monday that he has spoken to Elon Musk about providing his satellite broadband company, Starlink, to communities impacted by Hurricane Helene.

At least 100 people were killed after the brutal storm made landfall late Thursday, with hundreds of water rescues taking place in Florida, Georgia, the Carolinas, Tennessee and Virginia. Over 2 million homes and businesses were still without power throughout the Southeast Monday, and hundreds of thousands of people remained without internet.

“I just spoke to Elon. We want to get Starlink hooked up because they have no communication whatsoever,” Trump said during a press conference in Valdosta, Georgia.

“Elon will always come through. We know that.”

Many towns across the southeast are without internet because fiber optic lines were damaged and cell towers knocked offline. Starlink, the only high-bandwidth internet system covering the entire planet, would allow people in these blackout zones to access the internet.

Trump traveled to Valdosta, Georgia, Monday afternoon to survey the damage from Hurricane Helene and deliver relief materials such as food, water and fuel.

In a post on X Monday morning, Trump said he wanted to stop in storm-ravaged North Carolina too,  as he has “a lot of supplies ready for them,” but because access and communication there are now restricted, his team felt it was better to “make sure that Local Emergency Management is able to focus on helping the people most affected, and not being concerned with me.”

Trump promised to get to North Carolina “shortly,” and added that he didn’t like the reports he was hearing about “the Federal Government, and the Democrat Governor of the State, going out of their way to not help people in Republican areas.”

Trump said he was working with evangelist Franklin Graham’s relief organization Samaritan’s Purse, to bring truckloads of supplies to the region.

As the Southeast was grappling with catastrophic flooding driven by the hurricane, Joe Biden spent the weekend relaxing at his beach house in Rehoboth, Delaware, and Kamala Harris continued campaigning, attending two fundraisers in California on Saturday, and holding a rally in Las Vegas Sunday night.

Biden delivered remarks Monday morning on the regime’s response, telling reporters he would likely be visiting affected areas later this week. When asked why he and Harris were not in Washington D.C. commanding the response to the hurricane disaster, Biden answered tersely that he “was on the phone for at least two hours yesterday and the day before as well.”

Harris posted a photo of herself last night allegedly getting briefed on “the latest developments about the ongoing impacts of Hurricane Helene” while traveling on Air Force Two.

As others have pointed out, the papers on her table appeared to be blank and the wired headphones were not plugged into her phone.
