Well, he did the billionaire oligarchs version of jumping into action.

And the billionaire shared a video on X about how he supposedly saved thousands of lives from the wildfires.

A new truck will be delivered end of week.

I understand that wasnt an issue in Malibu, is that correct?
Musk said during the livestream.
There was water, we have water reservoirs, the unidentified firefighter responded.
The firefighter went on to explain that the water reserves are simply being stretched thin by the historic fires.
The amount of water were flowing, there really is no water system thats gonna keep that pace.
In the Palisades there was a shortage of water at a certain point.

But he will no doubt continue to spread misinformation that seeks to serve the MAGA agenda.
And that will almost certainly get much worse after Jan. 20.
