Democratic US senators are demanding that SpaceX preserve evidence of alleged Starlink disruptions in Ukraine.
Two senior Democratic senators have called on Elon Musk and SpaceX to preserve all records that may be related to reported disruptions of Starlink satellite services in Ukraine, according to the Wall Street Journal.
Senators Gene Shaheen and Chris Coons are seeking internal correspondence, operational records and other documentation related to the alleged disruptions between October 13 and 24, as well as a separate incident reported on November 12.
Lawmakers also want to determine whether any decisions affecting Starlink connectivity were made or approved by people or organizations outside of SpaceX.
Musk has denied claims that it intentionally limited Ukrainian access to its satellite network this week.
The senators set Nov. 30 as the deadline for SpaceX to confirm that the relevant evidence was preserved and provide a formal response to their inquiries.
The inspection may extend far beyond Starlink's operations in Ukraine.
According to the report, Democratic oversight efforts may also examine Musk's past involvement with the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), along with the Trump administration's deployment and use of artificial intelligence systems across federal agencies.
