down in Ukraine, you have called for a Senate investigation into Elon Musk. Would you call anyone from the administration to testify on this matter? Should Democrats win back control of Senate? Absolutely. The defense secretary, Hexas, should be brought in. Anyone who has knowledge of what happened, you've got the president saying one thing, you've got Elon Musk saying another thing. You have them both saying different things at different times. Sometimes somebody is lying here, maybe they're all lying in different ways, but we need to find out. Certainly the world's richest person shouldn't be controlling our national security interests. That is a spectacular threat to our national security if it is true. We should find out. Something isn't adding up here. I saw Elon Musk today tweet that they're just preventing Ukraine from violating their policies. Something changed within the last week. What was it that changed? Why did it change?
