Senator Richard Blumenthal, who is a central voice on the Senate's Armed Services Committee, is investigating Elon's Starlink abuse and planning to impose public interest controls over the service.

@randahl@mastodon.social I hope Blumenthal can get more information on Musk's covert contacts with Putin & his oligarchs. And Zuckerberg's Russian investors.
