Dem Senators Request Probe Into Musk's Alleged Russia Calls
Newsmax ^ | November 15, 2024 | Rooters

Reports that billionaire Elon Musk has held multiple calls with Russian officials, including President Vladimir Putin, should be investigated by the Pentagon and law-enforcement agencies on national-security grounds, two senior Democrat senators said in a letter seen by Reuters on Friday.

Musk, who has been appointed to a senior government role by Republican President-elect Donald Trump, oversees billions of dollars in Pentagon and intelligence-community contracts as CEO of aerospace company SpaceX.

New Hampshire Democrat Sen. Jeanne Shaheen, a senior Foreign Relations Committee member, and Senate Armed Services Committee chair Jack Reed, D-R.I., told U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland and the Pentagon's inspector general that Musk's involvement in those SpaceX programs should be probed for potential debarment and exclusion after reports as recent as October of his conversations with Russian officials.

Debarment refers to exclusion from certain contracts and privileges.

Democrats need to be probed like Vlad Tepes probed the would-be Islamic conquerors that suggested he kneel to Islam.

“Dem Senators Request Probe Into Musk’s Alleged Russia Calls”

Anyone know what LAW he’s accused of breaking? From what I know, it is still possible and legal to talk to people in Russia.

So much for the Democrats stated wish to let bygones be bygones and going forward in a spirit of unity, cooperation and bipartisanship. They haven’t missed a beat.

What? Private citizens and businessmen cannot make calls to people in Russia? As far as I know Musk is nothing but a person who the next President would like to take a role in government.

Amazing how curious these people are about somethings and totally UNcurious about others (Hunter?).

Elon can’t discuss security or technology related to the US government, but he can speak to them about anything else.

A private citizen can talk to any person in the world he chooses. It’s not like he has military secrets. Tell me what Ukraine would do without Starlink.

And the dump of all the insanity, the illegal activity they’ve ever posted on Twitter comes out in 3... 2... 1... ;)

And that’s even before Grok gets turned loose. Do they REALLY want to fight an info war with this man?

Its odd indeed that all the Russian bloggers that are well connected to the Kremlin have not mentioned this at all. So if they are not crowing about it - as they would since it would be a big deal propaganda-wise, it did not happen, and the Democrats are wasting more money again.

I think those hurricanes would have developed independent of Starlink.
