Elon Musk and his companies, Tesla and SpaceX, may also face scrutiny, particularly over SpaceX's dealings in Ukraine and a potential merger between Tesla and SpaceX. The Democrats' investigations may also extend to other companies that have worked with the Trump administration, including tech firms like Meta, Amazon, and Google.",
