Lawmakers demand probe into Musk's Starlink slowdown in Ukraine

firstpost.com —

Bipartisan U.S. lawmakers are demanding an investigation into Elon Musk after a Wall Street Journal report alleged he restricted Ukraine's access to SpaceX's Starlink network during the war. Republican and Democratic officials, including Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick and Sen. Adam Schiff, called for Musk to testify under oath, citing serious national security concerns. Some lawmakers suggested Congress could block funding or issue subpoenas if Democrats gain Senate control. The reported slowdown followed Ukrainian attacks on Russian refineries, which angered Musk and President Trump. Senators have also asked the Pentagon's Inspector General to probe whether federal agencies were involved in the speed restrictions.
