FEMA buys all their supplies from certain vendors. Don't want anything but those supplies handed out.
typical corruption/kickbacks.
but that is rumor from X take it for what it’s worth.
UPDATE
Quote: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!!
They just took this video a few hours ago, where you can see the level of devastation: roads, houses, electricity, water supply and ground Internet connections completely destroyed.
@FEMA
wouldn’t let them land to deliver critical supplies … my blood is boiling …
Video in Elon’s tweet
p.s. I hear Blackrock wants land because lithium mine, but that’s just conspiracy theory spreading on Twitter/X…
UPDATE:

Elon reposted tweet saying some sheriffs threatening to arrest FEMA because they are stopping other aid attempts.
I could see how this fed/local standoffs could escalate to civil strife if not war.
