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.
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.
But-But-But.
Ha.
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.
Musk tweeted:
Here’s what X users are saying about the weaponization of Biden’s FCC against Musk’s Starlink:

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

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.
