Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., has called for a Senate inquiry into the alleged involvement of tech magnate Elon Musk in obstructing a Ukrainian drone's attempt to target Russia's naval fleet in the Black Sea last year.
"We need to investigate how this happened. What's in those contracts that permits him to have this kind of power?" Warren, a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee and its subcommittee on emerging threats and capabilities, told reporters during a Capitol Hill forum dedicated to discussions about artificial intelligence.
Musk, the founder and CEO of Tesla and SpaceX and the owner of X, formerly Twitter, attended the forum, as well as other prominent tech CEOs, according to NBC News.
