Former President Donald Trump and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk announced Monday they are going far beyond the federal government’s efforts to restore communication in states impacted by Tropical Storm Helene.
Trump and Musk announced Monday that Starlink, a communications system that relies on satellites, will be rolled out in Georgia and North Carolina, even as the Biden-Harris administration said Monday it would make government operations the focus of its communications strategy.
“Since the Hurricane Helene disaster, SpaceX has sent as many Starlink terminals as possible to help areas in need,” Musk posted on X, a social media platform he owns.
