Elon Musk's mom says President Biden wants to stop her son from making the world a better place
- Elon Musk's mother has been defending her son again — this time against President Joe Biden.
- Maye Musk's comments came in response to a post about the billionaire by the FCC's commissioner.
Elon Musk's mother said she is "furious" that President Joe Biden wants to stop her son from making the world better.
Maye Musk's comments came in response to a post by the Federal Communications Commission's Brendan Carr, who said on X that several US government agencies "have all taken action" against the billionaire and now the FCC was joining them.
"I am the mother of @elonmusk His goal is to make this world a better place," she wrote. "@POTUS wants to stop him. Have you any idea how furious I am? People in other countries are proud of Elon and do not understand the US President's motive. Please tell me how I should answer them."
Carr, who is the FCC's commissioner, also referred to Biden's comment that Musk's cooperation and technical relationships with foreign countries are "worthy of being looked at" after he acquired X.
Biden made the comments during a White House press conference in November last year.
Maye Musk's comments come as the FCC reaffirmed its 2022 decision on Tuesday to deny SpaceX's Starlink from rural broadband subsidies worth $885.5 million. The FCC said Starlink failed to meet the burden for securing funding. The company also failed to demonstrate that it could deliver the promised service, the FCC added.
Musk has had his other companies reviewed or closely watched by government agencies. These include investigations by the DOJ over Tesla's self-driving software, which was referenced in an SEC filing.
The Federal Aviation Administration reviewed the launch of SpaceX's Starship rocket, which exploded mid-flight in April. The FAA closed that review in September, classifying it as a "mishap."
In October, the National Labor Relations Board made a formal complaint, accusing X of illegally firing an employee who wrote on a company Slack channel: "Don't resign, let him fire you."
Representatives for Musk and Biden didn't immediately respond to Business Insider's request for comment, made outside of normal working hours.
