SpaceX and T-Mobile are working together to provide emergency communications to people affected by Hurricane Helene and Hurricane Milton.

- He also claimed that emergency alerts including evacuation notices and other messages had already been sent through the Starlink network, when there is no evidence to support this.
- He stated that "SpaceX President Gwynne Shotwell wrote on X on Tuesday" when there is no such thing as "X" on Twitter.
