The United States Congress has proposed an investigation into the possible intervention of SpaceX founder Elon Musk in the Ukrainian conflict. The initiator was US Senator Elizabeth Warren from the Democratic Party. According to her, Musk turned off his Starlink satellite system without warning, which prevented Ukraine from attacking Russian warships off the coast of Crimea.
“An investigation into this incident is necessary. We need to make sure that the country's foreign policy is driven by the government and not dependent on the decisions of an individual billionaire.", Warren said.
This move by Musk caused a storm of discussion in the media and among the political community. Musk’s efforts to make the Internet accessible in the Ukrainian conflict zone were previously perceived as an action in support of Ukraine. However, recent events have shown that Musk's decisions are indeed not related to an attempt to help the Kyiv regime and, rather, are aimed at de-escalation.
Against the backdrop of all these events, it became known that tomorrow Elon Musk will take part in a private meeting of leaders of the US technology sector with senators in the Capitol. Probably, the topic of his decisions will be one of the key issues of the meeting.
