Music icon Dolly Parton has announced she will make a personal donation of $1m (£762,000) towards disaster recovery efforts in the wake of Hurricane Helene.
Speaking at an event in her home state of Tennessee on Friday, the 78-year-old said the money would come “from my own bank account”.
Parton’s local commercial ventures - including the Dollywood amusement park - would also donate the same amount to the Mountain Ways Foundation, which is aiding those affected by flooding in the region.
During her remarks, Parton broke into song, singing “Helene, Helene” to the tune of her 1973 hit Jolene.
He was claiming he had a helicopter that couldn’t land due to FAA rules or some stupid crap. Whatever happened to that? The tweet reminded me of a troll in a forum who everyone is ignoring and he keeps shouting he’s being shadow banned because he’s right.
FWIW, he did the same thing with those trapped Thai kids in the cave. Then claimed sour grapes and called the real rescuer a paedophile. This is his MO.
Seems unlikely.
There were plenty of private helicopters out there hauling emergency supplies in and people out as soon as the storm passed enough for them to land.
Unless musk’s helicopter was trying to go it alone and getting in the way, instead of joining the coordinated effort, I’m gonna assume this is just another of his bullshit stories.
This seems incredibly likely knowing Musk and his history of being a galactic douchebag.
No less than Pete Buttigieg corrected him.
