Tesla and SpaceX CEO Musk, who has been given a government role by President-elect Donald Trump, oversees billions in Pentagon and intelligence contracts.
Elon Musk wears a black "Make America Great Again" cap while attending a campaign rally with Republican presidential nominee and former President Donald Trump at the Butler Farm Show fairgrounds in Butler, Pennsylvania, on Oct. 5, 2024 , and Russian President and presidential candidate Vladimir Putin visits his campaign headquarters in Moscow on March 18, 2024.
Several Democratic lawmakers have publicly called for a probe into Musk's communications with Moscow since a Wall Street Journal report last month on the alleged contact, but the letter to the U.S. officials who could launch such an investigation has not been previously reported. Last month, the Wall Street Journal reported Musk has had multiple conversations with Russian officials including Putin and his first deputy chief of staff Sergei Kiriyenko, citing unnamed U.S., European and Russian officials.
"Communications between Russian government officials and any individual with a security clearance have the potential to put our security at risk," the lawmakers said in the letter.
