NASA Administrator Bill Nelson has called for an investigation into a recent Wall Street Journal report detailing “secret” conversations between Elon Musk and Russian President Vladimir Putin.
While emphasizing NASA’s non-partisan stance and commending SpaceX’s contributions, Nelson expressed concerns over the implications of Musk’s alleged discussions with Putin, particularly regarding national security for NASA and the Department of Defense.
The Journal’s report claims that Musk and Putin have communicated since late 2022 on various topics, including Musk’s decision not to activate Starlink services over Taiwan, which Putin reportedly requested to support China.
The report notes that Musk did not respond to requests for comment.
