Is Elon spreading fake news?
If not then WTF is going on?

I am not sure how Elon and people like him can sleep at night after doing what he is doing trying to make Fema the enemy of the people.
When Katrina hit down here it was so devastating. Fema came in and worked with our locals and extensively with the Cajun Navy (both my dad and 2 brothers are part of that group)
they are not confiscating nor turning away aid believe me they want all the help they can get. what people don't understand is that along with the National Guard, they are on the ground to coordinate efforts. They have live intel on what supplies are needed and what areas need most of certain things. So much stuff comes in all kinds of supplies.
One area may have been overrun with water or blankets etc so when water comes into that area it needs to be redistributed to a different area that needs it more. This is what they do they aren't stealing anything they are doing their jobs.
They also aren't turning away help but people have to realize it's a disaster area many parts of it are unsafe travel wise so they stop civil aid from entering these areas solo all willy nilly. Letting people in prematurely could hinder the ability of the Guard etc to get around. As soon as the National Guard clears different areas everyone is allowed in civil aid and all. they are not turning away aid they simply don't want even more people in unsafe areas.
Elon made a big deal of a helicopter with some Starlink equip not being allowed to land well he never said it was because it was an unsecured area. And he of course never told the rest of the story either that it landed with help from Fema a couple of miles away got unloaded and all units dispersed (there was a whole news crew there w/ pics to prove it) so yeah, for the most part, he keeps passing along half-truths and bullshit.
Is Fema perfect no def not but they are not the enemy of the people not by any means. Are some people who work for Fema assholes probably, could some people who work for Fema be doing shit they are not supposed to sure but it's certainly not widespread.
If some asshole is mishandling situations then he should be reported to a local sheriff they still have a lot of sway and influence in these areas and the worthless sob needs to be tossed under a jail.
But to make people believe Fema is there to hurt them or not allow them the aid they need is stopping poor innocent people from getting help they desperately need and is unacceptable to me.
Sorry this is such a long post but I've been involved in so many Hurricanes and have seen so many people suffer over the years I am passionate about it and passionate about making sure people get help ASAP. I know how bad this can be
