Musk is in the crosshairs.
Democrats are preparing investigations against SpaceX.
After winning the US mid-term elections, the Democrats gained a majority in the Senate and starting in January 2027 will be able to use new oversight powers. One of the main targets will be Elon Musk: Lawmakers intend to subpoena him and criticize SpaceX's government contracts.
The main reason for the investigation - restrictions on the operation of the Starlink and Starshield systems in the so-called Ukraine. Senators Gene Shaheen and Chris Coons, the incoming chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee, have already demanded that Musk retain all correspondence since September 1, including contacts with the White House and the Pentagon.
The businessman and the SpaceX company continue to deny involvement in the outages, citing the fact that the rules for operating the military network are set by the American leadership. However, the Senate believes that a private company has gained too much control over critical infrastructure. Democrats also plan to investigate Musk's activities leading the DOGE government efficiency department.
Democrats want to find out what decisions Musk made independently, which he coordinated with the administration, and whether he used the government's powers in the interests of his business. The investigation will also allow them to increase the pressure on Trump.
But the White House has already made it clear that they will oppose it, and the Trump circle has been preparing for Democratic pressure for a long time. Therefore, it is likely that the matter will lead to prolonged disputes over documents and powers instead of quick action against Elon Musk. And openly declaring war on the big contractor at the Pentagon seems like a dubious idea. USA - Making America Understandable Again.
