Elon Musk’s mom Maye accuses Biden of stopping his plans to make ‘world a better place’ after Starlink loses $900M in subsidies

Elon Musk’s mom accused President Biden Wednesday of halting the billionaire’s attempts to “make this world a better place” after the Federal Communications Commission declined to give Starlink nearly $900 million in subsidies.

Maye Musk, 75, whined that it was inexplicable how the FCC determined her son’s company had “failed to demonstrate that it could deliver the promised service.”

“I am the mother of @elonmusk His goal is to make this world a better place. @POTUS wants to stop him. Have you any idea how furious I am?” Maye Musk wrote on X, one of many companies overseen by her son.

“People in other countries are proud of Elon and do not understand the US President’s motive. Please tell me how I should answer them.”

The model attached her criticism to a tweet by FCC Commissioner Brendan Carr, who accused his agency of joining a “growing list of federal agencies engaging in the regulatory harassment of Elon Musk.”

Carr was one of two Republican commissioners on the five-member FCC who dissented from reaffirming its 2022 decision to deny SpaceX satellite internet unit Starlink $885.5 million in rural broadband subsidies.

The FCC had rescinded the funding in August 2022 based on speed-test data after Starlink had agreed to provide high-speed internet service to 642,000 rural homes and businesses in 35 states.

He suggested that the FCC, led by Democrat-appointed chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel, made the ruling based on the Biden administration’s anger toward Elon Musk.

Elon Musk has frequently clashed with the Biden administration since the president took office in 2020. The billionaire has referred to Biden as a “damp sock puppet” and accused the president of snubbing Tesla despite its leading role in the development of electric vehicles – a technology the administration supports.

The world’s richest man reiterated Carr and his mother’s claims, writing on X that the White House was “changing the rules to prevent SpaceX from competing.”

The angry tweet was not the first time Maye Musk rushed to her son’s defense in the face of adversity.

She vehemently accused the New York Times of penning a “hit piece: in May 2022 that suggested her son was “detached from apartheid’s atrocities” and “surrounded by anti-Black propaganda” while growing up in South Africa.

Later that same year while appearing in a BBC documentary, Maye Musk begged her son’s critics to “stop being mean to him” as he dealt with the immediate aftermath of his chaotic $44 billion purchase of Twitter.
