According to reports from ABC and NBC in the United States, 13 Democratic senators sent a letter to President Trump on Friday expressing concerns about possible behavior by American entrepreneur Elon Musk during his tenure as a senior advisor at the White House to use his government position to facilitate overseas transactions for his commercial projects in order to seek personal gain, and called for an investigation into this matter. The letter cited reports that Musk allegedly "used his government position to pressure foreign governments to make concessions for personal gain, including unrestricted market access and contracts with his company in exchange for favorable treatment from the US government." In this letter, Democrats specifically mentioned reports of commercial transactions between Musk's American space exploration technology company "Starlink" project and other countries, citing reports from the Washington Post about agreements reached by India and other countries on the "Starlink" project.
