Democratic senators call for investigation into Elon Musk's foreign deals involving Starlink

Democratic senators alleged Friday that tech billionaire Elon Musk may have used his White House job to drum up private deals in foreign countries for Starlink, his satellite internet service.   

In a letter to President Donald Trump, 13 senators led by Mark Warner, D-Va., wrote that Starlink seemed to make sudden breakthroughs this year in at least five countries that previously resisted giving the company footholds there. The senators called for Trump to investigate and make the findings public.  

“It is disturbing that the Senate ... has to consider the possibility of self-dealing by senior officials,” they wrote in the letter.
