Elon Musk threatened American senators

SpaceX head Elon Musk responded to American senators amid calls from the U.S. Congress to investigate the restriction of the Starlink satellite communication system in Ukraine, stating that he would "come after everyone" who stands in his way.

The entrepreneur wrote about this on the social network X.

"Those who come to us with a sword shall perish by the sword. Those who pick a fight with me should understand that I will find out who is actually pulling the strings and come after them, not their puppets," the American billionaire noted.

This was Musk's response to a statement by Senator Jeanne Shaheen (Democrat, New Hampshire) and eight other lawmakers from both parties, in which they called on the Pentagon to investigate disruptions in the Starlink and Starshield satellite communication systems in Ukraine.

Earlier, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky called the shutdown of the Starlink system for his country a mistake. He asked the head of SpaceX, the company providing this service, Elon Musk, to turn it back on.

Zelensky's advisor Serhiy Beskrestnov reported that the American company had throttled the speed of Starlink satellite internet terminals for the Ukrainian army, as a result of which "a number of operations were disrupted."

On October 15, the news agency "RBC-Ukraine," citing sources in the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense, reported that the "military package" of Starlink — Starshield — had fully resumed operations in Ukraine.
