"Elon Musk is hopping about the country, spewing and tweeting political falsehoods and attacking FEMA while claiming his desire to help the hurricane victims with free Starlink access to the internet," Commissioner Gretchen Newsom said at the meeting in San Diego.

Gretchen Newsom tried to run for San Diego mayor, she went from student government to working for assorted political campaigns and offices and then became a political organizer for the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Suffice it to say she's a typical political swamp creature who has accomplished nothing in her life except gobbling up public money.

Not when there's political incorrectness involved.
