Democratic senators have ordered billionaire Elon Musk to preserve SpaceX documents related to the alleged restrictions on Starlink for Ukraine, as this prevented the Ukrainian Armed Forces from conducting operations in October and November.
This was reported by The Wall Street Journal.
According to a letter reviewed by the publication, lawmakers are demanding that Musk preserve all documents and records related to the restrictions imposed by SpaceX on Ukraine’s use of the Starlink and Starshield satellite services.
The letter states that service disruptions occurred from October 13 to 24, as well as on November 12, which in turn hampered Ukraine’s military operations.
“The restrictions imposed in October and November raise the alarming possibility that these vulnerabilities will persist even in systems relied upon by the U.S. government,” the senators Janna Shaheen and Chris Coons wrote in a letter to Musk.
They also criticized the “lack of transparency in the decision-making process” and asked Musk to clarify whether anyone outside of SpaceX had authorized these restrictions.
Specifically, a significant portion of the company’s documents dating back to September 1 must be provided, including all correspondence related to Starlink and Starshield for Ukraine, as well as correspondence directly between Musk, SpaceX executives, the White House, or the Pentagon.
The businessman must comply with the requests and answer specific questions from the oversight body by November 30.
The publication noted that earlier in October, Musk had already ordered a slowdown in Starlink operations, but later U.S. President Donald Trump called him and asked him to reverse that decision.
The WSJ also added that in January, when Democrats take control of Congress, they intend to launch a series of investigations into the Trump administration’s actions regarding Ukraine.
