Senator Elizabeth Warren is demanding an investigation into SpaceX after Elon Musk admitted to blocking the expansion of the private satellite network Starlink to Ukraine due to attacks on Russian military ships off the coast of Crimea.
“Congress needs to investigate what happened here and whether we have adequate tools to ensure that foreign policy is conducted by the government, not by one billionaire,” Warren said on Monday at the Capitol.
It is expected that Musk, the CEO of SpaceX, will be among the technology industry leaders participating in a closed summit with senators at the Capitol on Wednesday.
Warren, a member of the Armed Services Committee, also stated that she wants the Department of Defense to review its contractual relationships with the company.
Jack Reed, the chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee and a Democrat from Rhode Island, also expressed concerns about the issue, considering that governments traditionally control satellites, and presidents decide what to do with them.
He acknowledged the positive changes that SpaceX has brought by reducing the cost of access to space, including for national security launches, “but he cannot have the final say when it comes to national security,” Reed said about Musk.
