Addressing a crowd of supporters, Trump applauded Musk’s efforts in providing Starlink satellite service during Hurricane Helene, which devastated the southeastern US last month.
Trump shared that he had urgently asked Musk to deploy Starlink in North Carolina. “He had that there so fast; it was incredible. It saved a lot of lives,” Trump said, emphasizing the billionaire’s quick response. Calling Musk a “special guy,” Trump added, “We have to protect our geniuses. We don’t have that many of them.”
