California Governor and Elon Musk clash over misinformation claims
California Governor Gavin Newsom has accused Elon Musk of spreading misinformation about the state's wildfire response and encouraging looting through false claims.
Homeowners and renters affected by the wildfire are suing Southern California Edison for failing to de-energize electrical equipment despite warnings.
The wildfires have resulted in at least 24 deaths and damaged over 12,000 structures, leading to evacuation notices for more than 150,000 people.
