Elon Musk’s mother accused President Biden Wednesday of stopping the billionaire’s attempts to “make the world a better place” after the Federal Communications Commission refused to give Starlink nearly $900 million in subsidies.
Maye Musk, 75, whined that it was inexplicable how the FCC determined her son’s company “failed to demonstrate that it could deliver the promised service.”
“I’m the mother of @elonmusk His goal is to make the world a better place. @POTUS wants to stop it. Do you know how angry I am?” Maye Musk write on Xone of the many companies overseen by his son.
“People in other countries are proud of Elon and do not understand the motives of the US President. Please tell me how I should answer that.”
The model attached his criticism to a tweet by FCC Commissioner Brendan Carr, who accused his agency of joining “a growing list of federal agencies implicated in Elon Musk’s regulatory interference.”
Carr was one of two Republican commissioners on the five-member FCC who did not agree to reaffirm its decision in 2022 to deny the SpaceX Starlink satellite internet unit $885.5 million in rural broadband subsidies.

The FCC canceled funding in August 2022 based on speed test data after Starlink 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, make the decision based on the Biden administration’s anger at Elon Musk.
Elon Musk has often clashed with the Biden administration since the president took office in 2020. The billionaire has referred to Biden as a “moist sock puppet” and accused the president of underestimating Tesla despite playing a major role in the development of electric vehicles – a technology the administration supports.

The world’s richest man echoed Carr and his mother’s claims, writing on X that the White House “changed the rules to prevent SpaceX from competing.”
The angry tweet is not the first time Maye Musk has rushed to defend her son in the face of adversity.
He strongly accused the New York Times of writing a “hit piece: in May 2022 that suggested his son was “separated from the brutality of apartheid” and “surrounded by anti-Black propaganda” while growing up in South Africa.

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