No, Congress Did Not Call for an Investigation Into Elon Musk’s Actions Regarding Starlink and Crimea

A post shared on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, claims that Congress called for an investigation into billionaire Elon Musk’s actions regarding Starlink, Ukraine and Crimea.

Verdict: Misleading

Massachusetts Democratic Sen. Elizabeth Warren called for a probe into Musk’s actions, not the entire Congress.

Fact Check:

Musk refused to allow Ukraine to use Starlink when it wanted to launch a surprise naval drone attack against the Russian naval vessels based in Sevastopol, Crimea, according to The Associated Press.

Social media users are claiming that the U.S. Congress is calling for an investigation into Musk’s actions. One tweet reads,”‘The US Congress called for an investigation into Elon Musk’s actions in Ukraine in the situation with the Starlink outage near the coast of Crimea’, – Bloomberg.”
