Elon Musk is facing calls for a congressional investigation after US Republican Representative Brian Fitzpatrick questioned whether the billionaire may have broken the law over reported restrictions on satellite communications technology used by Ukraine's military. Fitzpatrick made the call on Tuesday, 20 October, following a report by The Wall Street Journal alleging that Musk ordered a slowdown of a military-related satellite service, potentially disrupting Ukrainian drone operations against Russia.
The allegations remain unresolved, and the precise circumstances surrounding the reported decision have yet to be established publicly. Questions have emerged over Musk's alleged involvement and the extent to which a private individual should have authority over technology used for military purposes.
