      We are well past the point where things Elon and Trump are saying about this hurricane recovery are overtly trying to cause panic and should be taken as attempts to hinder recovery efforts.

    2. Ffs, I hope Kamala wins and immediately decides to review and reconsider every government contract given to Leon for his behavior the past few years. He’s an undemocratic propagandist and shouldn’t hold ANY government contracts and subsidies.

    3. i have a feeling elon is going to be pillaging the government for some free money if trump gets elected.

      # Musk spurns subsidies, after SpaceX sought them out

      >SpaceX is, after all, primarily a government contractor, racking up $15.3 billion in awarded contracts since 2003, according to US government records. Its most important businesses are launching astronauts and scientific missions for NASA, and flying satellites for the US military.

    4. Elon has gone so far off the rails just in the last year or two… it’s like he’s completely stopped pretending to be anything but a neofascist oligarch Yarvin-fan hoping to dismantle the Federal government so he can robber-baron away without any restraints. It’s been quite the unravelling to witness, a real Citizen Kane kind of story arc.

    5. “legitimate rescue and recovery”

      Musk is annoyed because private flights are being challenged to ensure that they’re supposed to be there. Sorry, FEMA doesn’t need every asshole with a helicopter fluttering around and potentially causing problems.

      Well maybe the airspace was blocked when Trump visited and diverted resources from rescue to protecting him? Sure, some of you (in the disaster zone) may die, but that was a sacrifice he was willing to make.

      Secretary Pete also shut down the strike that trump and his good buddy set up to tank the economy.

    8. I swear, if one day it comes to Democratic nomination choice between Walz and Buttigieg, I am going to have a bitch of a headache deciding. Tho, Mayor Pete is young enough to be president after Harris’ two terms, Walz’ two so….

      Why would the administration try to lose votes a month before the election by withholding legitimate aid to the victims?

    10. There is so much fucking disinformation going on about this, that it’s now causing real harm. In a way that FEMA and other government officials are getting threats of violence.

      We really do live in a shithole country

      Look I’m not gonna lie, I feel like there are so many conflicting reports this time. I’m not saying I like the guy, but I am saying that there are reports that show it’s hard for some towns to get the help they need
