Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, has vowed to confront those promoting allegations of his ties to Russia, criticizing claims of his communications with Russian officials.

These allegations were highlighted by US Democratic Senators Jeanne Shaheen and Jack Reed, who requested an investigation into Musk's interactions with Russian President Vladimir Putin and other officials, as reported by the Wall Street Journal.

The publication’s assertions rely on anonymous sources and lack evidence.

The Senators question Musk's reliability as a government contractor, given his companies' involvement in government projects, and suggest a review of his security clearance.

Musk has dismissed these claims and criticized the Senators as 'puppets.' Meanwhile, Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov has denied reports of Musk's frequent communications with Putin, denouncing them as politically motivated allegations.

The issue arises amidst broader accusations of Russian collusion that previously targeted US political figures, notably during President Trump's first term.

Musk's influence continues to grow, as reflected by his recent appointment to the Department of Government Efficiency by President-elect Trump.
