Primarily inspired by the latest reports of Musk throttling satellite speed in Ukraine’s battle against Russia, several senior Democrats are eyeing investigating the world’s richest man and top GOP donor who controls Starlink and Starshield for the Ukrainian military’s use.

Either the President was lying or Musk was lying, but the decision to slow down satellite speed and access has life or death consequences for Ukraine.

This deserves a full investigation by the Senate. Elon Musk should be compelled to testify before Congress and under oath.… https://t.co/yuk4jjSZUZ pic.twitter.com/lCBo8BSGu2

Musk’s role in eliminating hundreds of thousands of government jobs and the theft of personal information in millions of Social Security accounts through DOGE, and the dismantling of USAID has been named as points of interest as well. Musk’s government contracts also appear as a conflict of interest and a way to subsidize his personal businesses.
