SpaceX, the company founded by Elon Musk, is under investigation for Russia's use of the Starlink satellite system against Ukraine. According to Democratic representatives in the US House of Representatives, Russian troops in Ukraine could have used Starlink terminals to access the Internet.

On 20 April, SpaceX made a not-so-successful attempt to launch the Starship rocket system. The prototype rocket and spacecraft exploded at an altitude of about 40 km, and the launch platform was badly damaged.
