Oh, the horror! Do you know that to get government services, you also have to file a form and wait for it to be approved?
Nice cherry-picking. Your post framed it like Musk was Father Christmas, handing out gifts to needy kids. It’s more like Columbia House [1] for internet access, and targeting hurricane victims to boot.

FEMA failed, and Musk stepped in to help.
If people didn't like Musk, nobody made them do business with him.
Complaining that someone would have to fill out a form to get free money is not a compelling argument.
So “help” and “buyer beware” are now synonyms. Got it.

Again, A+ effort on the cherry-picking. I call BS on the expectation that hurricane victims will read the fine print about a $120/month rate increase after they’ve just lost their homes. If Musk’s goal is to “help” hurricane victims, maybe he can offer them something better than a bait-and-switch.
