The wildfires have been a tremendous disaster for the Los Angeles area. 

In addition to all the properties that were destroyed, at least 24 people have died. 

Tesla head and X owner Elon Musk is helping out. He has provided Cybertrucks to deliver water and food, as well as providing power and Starlinks so people could have Wifi. The Altadena Mountain Rescue Team posted pictures of the trucks.

“Apologies to those expecting Cybertruck deliveries in California over the next few days. We need to use those trucks as mobile base stations to provide power to Starlink Internet terminals in areas of LA without connectivity. A new truck will be delivered end of week,” he wrote on X.

He also brought trucks to the Palisades Command Center and had a briefing with the fire officials there. 

Now, you would think that California leaders like Gov. Gavin Newsom would be thanking him for the help. 

Instead, Newsom posted an attack on Musk. This was what Newsom was focused on — claiming Musk was “exposed by firefighters for his own lies,” posting part of the video of Musk visiting the Palisades Command Center. He’s the state’s chief executive in the middle of such a disaster and this is what he’s posting? Imagine being as petty and small as this man, trying to deflect blame.

I’m not sure what Newsom is talking about. It was a very friendly meeting if you watch the whole video with Elon just asking questions and the firefighters responding. If he’s talking about water, the firefighter official acknowledged they had to bring in water tenders to deal with the fires and that the system was overloaded. So I’m not sure what he thinks this clip shows, but it’s pretty small that he’s trying to use the firefighters in his “hate on Elon” move.
