Senate Democrats Jack Reed and Jeanne Shaheen have called for a federal probe into Elon Musk’s alleged high-level conversations with Russian officials, including President Vladimir Putin. The lawmakers expressed concerns over Musk’s reliability as a government contractor, citing national security implications due to Russia’s ambitions in space. They emphasized that Musk, who possesses top secret clearance, has not disclosed these foreign contacts, unlike others in similar positions. The request follows a Justice Department assessment linking Russian officials to efforts aimed at undermining U.S. interests. Musk has dismissed the accusations as politically motivated.
