on November 15th, two Democratic senators stated in a letter seen by Reuters reporters on the same day that for national security reasons, the Pentagon and law enforcement agencies should investigate reports of billionaire Elon Musk's multiple communications with Russian officials, including Putin. In their joint letter dated November 15th, the two senators wrote, "Mr. Musk's relationship with a well-known enemy of the United States and a beneficiary of huge amounts of U.S. government funding will raise serious questions about his reliability as a government contractor and classified person." Since The Wall Street Journal reported on the so-called contact activities last month, several Democratic lawmakers have publicly called for an investigation into Musk's communications with Moscow, but the letter to government officials authorized to launch such investigations has not been reported until now.
