He also shared a video showing the extent of the devastation, with roads, houses, electricity, water supply, and ground internet connections destroyed.On Friday, Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk said that they have been granted permission to deliver Starlink terminals and supplies to disaster-stricken areas in North Carolina. However, the approval allegedly met some resistance initially.
星鏈和特斯拉首席執行官埃隆·馬斯克在週五表示，他們已獲准向北卡羅來納州的災區提供星鏈終端和物資。然而，據稱，這項批准最初遇到了一些阻力。
What Happened: Musk took to X, formerly Twitter, and complained that SpaceX engineers were barred by the Federal Emergency Management Agency or FEMA from delivering Starlink terminals and supplies.
發生了什麼：馬斯克轉向X，原名推特，抱怨SpaceX的工程師被聯邦緊急管理局（FEMA）阻止交付星鏈終端和物資。
"SpaceX engineers are trying to deliver Starlink terminals & supplies to devastated areas in North Carolina right now and FEMA is both failing to help AND won't let others help. This is unconscionable," he said.
「SpaceX工程師正在嘗試向北卡羅來納州受災嚴重區域交付星鏈終端和物資，而FEMA既未提供幫助，也不允許其他人提供幫助。這是不道德的，」他說。
He also shared a video showing the extent of the devastation, with roads, houses, electricity, water supply, and ground internet connections destroyed.
他還分享了一段視頻，展示了災害的程度，道路、房屋、電力、供水和地面互聯網連接遭到破壞。
He further criticized FEMA for not allowing the SpaceX team to land and deliver critical supplies, adding, "My blood is boiling."
他進一步批評FEMA不允許SpaceX團隊着陸並交付關鍵物資，並補充說：「我的憤怒沸騰。」
However, in a later update, Musk confirmed that SpaceX had finally received the necessary approval from FEMA to proceed with the delivery of the Starlink terminals and supplies.
然而，後來馬斯克證實，SpaceX最終獲得了FEMA的必要批准，可以繼續交付星鏈終端和物資。

Why It Matters: Musk also clashed with Department of Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg over allegations that federal authorities hindered flights delivering aid to Hurricane Helene victims.
特斯拉總裁馬斯克也與運輸部長皮特•布泰吉格發生衝突，指控聯邦當局阻礙向颶風赫蓮受害者提供援助的飛行。
"The level of belligerent government incompetence is staggering," he stated earlier.
「政府的好戰無能令人震驚，」他先前表示。
Meanwhile, the White House also refuted GOP claims of FEMA funds mismanagement following the hurricane. "No disaster relief funding at all was used to support migrants housing and services. None. At. All."
與此同時，白宮也駁斥了共和黨關於FEMA基金管理不善的指控。 「根本沒有使用任何災難救助資金來支撐移民的住房和服務。一點也沒有。」
Earlier, President Joe Biden praised the end of a port strike that threatened to disrupt the U.S. economy, highlighting its importance for Hurricane Helene's recovery.
早些時候，喬•拜登總統讚揚結束威脅破壞美國經濟的港口罷工，並強調了對颶風赫蓮恢復的重要性。
Previously, former President Donald Trump claimed credit for the deployment of Starlink satellites to aid communication restoration in areas affected by the hurricane. However, he was contradicted by FEMA.
此前，前總統特朗普聲稱因其部署Starlink衛星來幫助受颶風影響地區恢復通訊而功不可沒。然而，他遭到FEMA的反駁。
