Starlink Ukraine Slowdown Sparks GOP Calls for Accountability
Senator Thom Tillis has joined a growing number of Republican lawmakers speaking out after Elon Musk's SpaceX temporarily slowed Starlink satellite communications in Ukraine. In an interview on "Face the Nation with Margaret Brennan," Tillis said private companies operating in military and geopolitical space need oversight. "I get it's a private company, but they're playing into military space, geopolitical space," he said. "There's got to be some guardrails and accountability, in my opinion."
