Hurricane Helene: Donald Trump Says He Asked Elon Musk To Provide Starlink to Affected Communities, Blackout Zones

Donald Trump said that he had spoken to Elon Musk about providing Starlink internet services to the communities affected by Hurricane Helene in various states of the US. Due to Hurricane Helene, thousands of people lost internet connection in their areas and towns like Asheville in North Carolina were declared "blackout zones" as people could not use the internet, make calls or even text. Starlink uses satellites to beam signals from space directly to the devices, making it an ideal option for remote connection. Trump reportedly asked Musk to provide internet and said, "Elon will always come through. We know that." On the other hand, Reuters reported that dozens of Starlink systems were deployed for Hurricane Helene victims by the Biden administration. Elon Musk Reacts to Democrat John Kerry’s Statement To Change First Amendment, Says ‘They Will Destroy the Constitution’.
