Senators Urge Investigation Into Elon Musk's Alleged Communications With Russian Officials

According to Odaily, two Democratic senators have called for an investigation into reports that billionaire Elon Musk has engaged in multiple communications with Russian officials, including President Vladimir Putin. This request was made in a letter dated the 15th, which was seen by Reuters journalists. The senators expressed concerns over national security, suggesting that the Pentagon and law enforcement agencies should look into these allegations. The letter highlights the potential implications of Musk's interactions with a nation considered a known adversary of the United States. The senators argue that these connections could significantly undermine Musk's reliability as a government contractor and a person with access to classified information. Since the Wall Street Journal reported on these alleged communications last month, several Democratic lawmakers have publicly demanded an investigation into Musk's interactions with Moscow. However, this letter marks the first formal request to government officials with the authority to initiate such an inquiry.
