How long until Elon calls Buttigieg a “pedo guy”? Worked so well for him last time.

Well I'm glad that was cleared up. I certainly trust the word of government wonks and bureaucrats over Elon Musk.Other news sources suggest otherwise:

You believe who you want and I'll look for truthful information.

Quit with the negative waves, man.
Well, there was that whole Cybertruck "shatterproof windows" thing.
Generators, I suppose they can also run off batteries for a while.
In any case, even a Fox News person claims that they have about 3/4 of the power restored and most of the cell coverage restored.

I have borrowed my life motto from an old Army Intellegience branch badge of my dad's - in God I trust, all others I monitor. 
As far as internet/starlink, I imagine a big benefit would be hospitals and shelters (and other places with power, generator-driven or otherwise) being able to have internet.

Around here the valleys, and "foothills" if you will, had power and water restored in 3-4 days for most locations. Up in the hills it is still out today. Roan Mountain for example is still without power and water. It's a mess up there. FEMA was there yesterday coordinating volunteers helping with food, water, clothing, cleanup, etc. Yesterday we saw the interstate full of bucket trucks heading towards these locations which is good albeit somewhat delayed.
Not sure why assistance from non-governmental parties would be turned down as we have heard many many reports of. I have personally heard from individuals reporting this.

Hush. There’s a narrative to be pushed. Don’t let reality interfere with that.

The narrative that FEMA is well organized and efficient doesn’t stand up to even superficial scrutiny.

The owner of Starlink can flip the switch on and off when he wants
apnews.com
And can do so even when he’s at a gathering in PA, I bet. He’s just…weird.
Stay grounded in reality, folks.
Elon Musk's refusal to have Starlink support Ukraine attack in Crimea raises questions for Pentagon
SpaceX founder Elon Musk’s refusal to allow Ukraine to use Starlink internet services to launch a surprise attack on Russian forces in Crimea last September has raised questions for the Pentagon.
