There have been a lot of concerns about getting help to the folks in the areas affected by Hurricane Helene, particularly in North Carolina, where many people have now been cut off from help for days, and the only way they're getting help is by air for rescue, medicine or other supplies.
A lot of people have been trying to help, but there have been numerous reports of people being impeded.
The Government's Failure to Help After Helene Goes Far Beyond What the Media Is Willing to Tell You
Now, even Elon Musk is reporting this as his SpaceX engineers are trying to deliver Starlink systems into the affected area.
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!!
They just took this video a few hours ago, where you can see the level of devastation: roads, houses, electricity, water supply and ground Internet connections completely destroyed.@FEMA wouldn’t let them land to deliver critical supplies … my blood is boiling … pic.twitter.com/abpOsfNenF— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) October 4, 2024

He revealed a text he'd gotten about deliveries being blocked and shutting down airspace.

Then, amazingly, he got a response from Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg.
No one is shutting down the airspace and FAA doesn’t block legitimate rescue and recovery flights. If you’re encountering a problem give me a call.— Secretary Pete Buttigieg (@SecretaryPete) October 4, 2024
"No one is shutting down the airspace and FAA doesn’t block legitimate rescue and recovery flights. If you’re encountering a problem give me a call," Buttigieg said.
Elon said there were "hundreds of reports" of FEMA or the FAA "blocking flights" He then asked for the number to call Buttigieg.
There are hundreds of reports of FEMA/FAA blocking flights. This literally just happened.
I will follow you. Please DM me the number to call.— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) October 4, 2024
But then it didn't appear he got an answer from Buttigieg, as he had to ask again.
Still waiting … the helicopter is trying to land to deliver critical supplies. What’s the number to call?— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) October 4, 2024
Musk said the pilots were not trying to land in an unsafe area.
How is the governmental effort so lacking in coordination and response, and then on top of that, getting in the way of those that are responding? Even this exchange seems to tell the tale — why should Elon Musk have to be begging Pete Buttigieg for a phone number just so a helicopter can land?
It's just unreal.
Buttigieg finally did get back to him. But he's responding only after all this has exploded all over X, with many who are not as well placed as Elon Musk complaining about the issues.
Musk, with his big stick, brought more attention to the issue and forced an answer. Hopefully, they will resolve this, or I suspect we will hear more from Musk.
Thanks for the call. Hopefully, we can resolve this soon.— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) October 4, 2024
FEMA’s response has been totally Gay to date?
this makes me see red.
i got an email request to pass on for emergency help in NC from a trusted source, but do your own vetting on the links and emails. they apparently need a helicopter and horsemen to pack supplies in.
THIS IS AN EMERGENCY MESSAGE
Please share with anyone who may have a helicopter to help ASAP.
We need at least one more helicopter and pilot willing to help out with the rescue operation. The Base camp is in Hickory, North Carolina. If you come in contact with someone willing,
please contact patientadvocatebulldog@protonmail.com
We will get you connected with the team. Thank you!
AND
HORSEMEN NEEDED
“Horse people, we need your help!!! We need horses, mules, and/or donkeys to carry supplies into areas that are not accessible by helicopter or wheeled vehicle.
Be aware, this is tough terrain and it’s not a weekend trail ride. We need experienced horsemen and surefooted animals ASAP! Thank you!”

Government control.
Whenever/IF butthead gives Elon a valid phone number and Elon makes sure it works to get in contact with butthead THEN HE NEEDS TO PUBLISH IT ON X so the public can start calling...
I know that this won’t work for long but it’s a start.
Never thought I’d see the day where it would make sense for private citizens to own Apache helicopters to keep airspace open just to deliver goods to a natural disaster zone.
We are truly living in a third-world nation. My heart is absolutely broken over all of this.
Bootyjuice is probably just counting the days until he tenders his resignation.
Hmmm...dem feema folks need to git dissapeared...
This all sounds like what is happened to President Trump and the 2 assassination attempts on him.
And the aide from the feds via their vaunted secret service department.
This flight restriction bullshit is unforgivable. It takes a billionaire owner of one of the biggest social media platforms in the world to clamor for the direct line of the Sec of Trans to get it stopped? People should be in prison.
Every government employee going along with this crap should be treated exactly the same as the last large group of government employee’s were when they screamed “We were JUST FOLLOWING ORDERS”.
SIEG
HEIL!
I just watched about 3hrs of destruction in North Carolina.
That place will not be fixed in a lifetime.
30 feet of raging surge.
This is what dependency on the government will get you.
And they want to have us step back and let them do it all.
NO WAY!!!!!!!!!
Deaths are going to skyrocket under government management of anything.

Gitmo needs to be packed out with traitors to our country.
“ Every government employee going along with this crap…”
That would be every single government employee. Every last one. They all go along, even if they think it’s wrong. They want their paycheck, their longevity and their pension. And they know Democrat leaders brook no pushback whatsoever.
They did hook up at Hickory. They are going in. Bunch of privates.
great! God’s speed to them all.
