 Elon Musk pledged to give victims of Hurricane Helene 30 days worth of free access to his satellite-based Starlink internet service — but the billionaire failed to mention that survivors of the disastrous storm that has claimed the lives of more than 200 people will need to fork over $400 for the system’s hardware.Starlink, a division of Musk’s rocket-building and space exploration firm SpaceX, announced on its official X page last week that its service “is now free for 30 days” for survivors of Helene who live in areas where phone and fiber cables were cut off — denying them internet access.

How generous. Maybe FEMA's $750 can cover it. Here is another example of how much our government hates Americans. The pentagon paid for Musk's Starlinks when he provided them to Ukraine. Our taxes paid for that. However, when it comes to Americans, then...oh well. The people have to pay for it. Our government is useless.
