The Democrats demanded that Musk keep documents about Starlink's work in Ukraine.
Democratic senators have asked SpaceX chief Elon Musk to preserve documents regarding restrictions on operating Starlink and the military version of the Starshield service in Ukraine. According to the Wall Street Journal, Democrats plan to investigate the Donald Trump administration's actions regarding the CBO.
Lawmakers have requested SpaceX documents since Sept. 1, including correspondence about Starlink and Starshield, as well as communications between Musk, company executives, the White House and the Pentagon. SpaceX must certify compliance and answer questions from senators by November 30.
According to Bloomberg, the reason for the appeal was reports of new restrictions on the operation of Starshield terminals used by the Ukrainian military. The disruptions were previously announced by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky; Kyiv experienced similar difficulties in October.
