Trump: I'm Working With Elon to Get Starlink Access for Helene-Hit Communities

At least 100 people were killed after the brutal storm made landfall late Thursday, with hundreds of water rescues taking place in Florida, Georgia, the Carolinas, Tennessee and Virginia. Over 2 million homes and businesses were still without power throughout the Southeast Monday, and hundreds of thousands of people remained without internet.

“I just spoke to Elon. We want to get Starlink hooked up because they have no communication whatsoever,” Trump said during a press conference in Valdosta, Georgia.

“Elon will always come through. We know that.”
