Former President Donald Trump announced on Monday that he had spoken with tech mogul Elon Musk, coming to an agreement where the two will work together and collaborate by providing Starlink internet service to individuals impacted by Hurricane Helene who are in dire need of communication services.
“I just spoke to Elon. "We want to get Starlink hooked up because they have no communication whatsoever and Elon will always come through,” Trump said during a Valdosta, Georgia, speech, where he toured the storm damage. “We’re working [on] getting them hooked up. We’re going to try and get the Starlink in there as soon as possible.”
INCREDIBLE ⚡️

“To every family that’s been displaced here in Georgia and in North Carolina, which has really been hit. We’re going there also. "They don’t have communication, they don’t have anything right now,” Trump continued.
The Federal Emergency Management Agency released a fact sheet on Monday that revealed how, in addition to systems provided to local residents in need, 40 Starlink satellite systems were available for first responders requiring extra communication systems, as well as an additional 140 more being shipped for further assistance in rescue and restoration operations.
“And throughout the region, our hearts are with you, and we are going to be with you as long as you need. You’re in our prayers, and we pray to God, and throughout these long weeks, the long weeks that lay ahead. "You're going to have a lot of work, but the end result is it’s going to be good,” Trump added.
Additionally, Trump has begun working with Franklin Graham, the son of famous evangelist Billy Graham, to distribute food, water, and other emergency supplies in the regions hit the hardest.
“We came down with truckloads of different items, from oil to water … We’re here today to stand in complete solidarity with the people of Georgia and all those suffering in the terrible aftermath of Hurricane Helene,” Trump continued.
Helena recently made landfall as a category 4 hurricane, hitting Florida first before ravaging through nearby states, including the Carolinas, Georgia, Virginia, and Tennessee.
The death toll stemming from the hurricane has already climbed up to 120, with more deaths expected as rescue crews make their way to stranded civilians.
