"Secret calls" between Musk and Putin: Democrats demand an investigation
On October 25, the Wall Street Journal reported that Elon Musk and Vladimir Putin had been having regular calls since 2022. During these calls, they discussed "business, personal matters and geopolitical tensions". This report is based on US, European and Russian government sources.
Alarmed by this news, several Democratic figures are calling for an investigation. "The Department of Defense should conduct an investigation to ensure that Musk's actions don't compromise the country's national security," said Adam Smith, member of the US House Armed Services Committee. If proven, these calls "would be concerning, particularly for NASA and the Department of Defense," said NASA chief Bill Nelson.
Reminder: Musk had responded to a WSJ article on X by describing it as "a fabricated story" based on "totally unfounded allegations, coming from anonymous sources".
