US Senators Push Pentagon Review Over Alleged Chinese Stakes in SpaceX. Two Democratic senators are pressing the Pentagon to urgently review SpaceX, warning that alleged hidden Chinese investments could pose a serious national security risk. In a letter seen by Reuters, Senators Elizabeth Warren and Andy Kim asked Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to investigate claims that investors linked to China secretly bought SpaceX shares through offshore entities in the Cayman Islands and British Virgin Islands. They argue that any Chinese ownership could threaten sensitive military, intelligence, and civilian systems, given SpaceX's key role in launching US defense satellites and operating the Pentagon-backed Starlink network. The senators want the Defense Department to disclose whether Chinese investors hold stakes, assess foreign influence risks, and determine if the investments should be reviewed by US regulators. SpaceX has not commented, but the concerns grow as the company expands its reach following its recent acquisition of Elon Musk's AI firm, xAI.
