There is no current evidence to support this claim, no trusted newspapers or fact-checking companies have made any claims that Joe Biden has said anything about a recount. Furthermore, the claim only comes from the X account which seems to be very untrustworthy.

This is true as well. I found this article by Times Now which doesn't look like a very established site but also says it was fabricated. https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2024-10-31/can-trump-really-cut-off-california-wildfire-aid This was all that I could really find on the topic.
