Elon Musk’s agents have gained access to FEMA’s sensitive disaster data
FEMA officials raised concerns that Trump could soon follow through on his pledge to dismantle the agency responsible for funding disaster relief.
Less than two weeks after President Donald Trump said his administration would consider making the Federal Emergency Management Agency “go away,” representatives of Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency were at the agency and reviewing the grant programs it uses to help communities prepare for and respond to disasters, according to four current and two former FEMA officials.
The presence of DOGE at FEMA has caused uncertainty and confusion, raising fears that Trump could soon follow through on his pledge to dismantle the agency, as his administration is doing with the U.S. Agency for International Development.
Under Biden FEMA abandoned North Carolina. As soon as Trump was able he ordered all hands to come to that beleaguered state’s aid.
Follow this guy for the sorry FEMA saga that Trump is setting right.
