Democratic senators call for federal probe into Musk’s contact with Russia
The Hill ^ | 11/15/2024 | Miranda Nazzaro

A pair of Democratic senators called for a federal investigation into Elon Musk’s involvement in SpaceX’s federal contracts following reports the tech billionaire has been in regular contact with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

In a letter sent Friday, Senate Armed Services Committee Chair Jack Reed (D-R.I.) and Sen. Jeanne Shaheen (D-N.H.) said Musk’s reported relations with a U.S. adversary “pose serious questions” about his “reliability as a government contract and a clearance holder.”

Shaheen is a senior member of the Armed Services and Foreign Relations committees.

Musk’s aerospace company, SpaceX, holds contracts with the Department of Defense and Intelligence Community worth billions of dollars. He is also a “prime contractor” for the Space Force’s National Security Space program and holds a $1.8 billion classified contract with the National Reconnaissance Office, the lawmakers noted.

Is Russia officially an enemy of the United States or just a Boogeyman for the Democrats?

Stop giving these evil cretins any written/reportage space. Ignore them. Giving them written space gives them credibility. They have none. Plus, they are helpless. Without power. Zilch. Nada. Niente. Ignore them.

They had nothing to say about the Walz direct connections with China or his Chinese girlfriend.

And of course nothing about Chinese agents going through classified docs in Biden’s Corvette.

Russia seems to be the hinge upon which all of the entire deep-state/Democrat fears, hopes, dreams, corruption, propaganda, etc... swings.

I don't know why this is, but we are lucky they haven't pushed us into nuclear war yet.

Okay this is a wild theory of mine, but the DemonRats (who are all CHINA'S B*TCHES) PRETEND to see Russia as the Boogeyman for the SOLE PURPOSE of diverting everyone's attention AWAY FROM CHINA !

Joe Biden, Hunter, Tim Walz, KAMALA'S HUSBAND DOUG EMHOFF, Gavin NewSCUM, and probably MORE THAN HALF OF CONGRESS and their ILK are so deeply in bed with China their arses touch the floor.

Don’t these goobers know that for decades the NASA that they funded and their hero Bill Nelson and other astronauts have been in touch with the Russians especially regarding the International Space Station?
And the US scientists in Antarctica...
And the old witch herself Hillary “Russian Reset” Clinton? Oh, and that was always John Kerry’s gig too, such as when Reagan was President. Kerry was always smooching up to them.

No war has been declared by us or Russia. A private US citizen can talk to anyone in Russia. Like Tucker said, “We’re Americans. We can talk to anyone.”

Their are too many fag Senators on the far-left. One of them needs to resign and give the job to Kamala of the Swamp People. People are going to miss her Jochim Phoenix “Joker” insane laugh.

OK so Musk stops sending US astronauts to the Space Station, who's going to get US astronauts there and bring them back?
Boeing can't do it.
Are these Democrat Senators going to go begging to the Russians again?

What about the Democrat politicians’ contact with Red Chinese spy girls? When are they going to get probed by someone other than Swallwell.
