U.S. Democrats Plan to Investigate Apple, Meta, and Companies Led by Musk

U.S. Democrats are preparing a round of congressional investigations targeting major corporations, with Apple, Meta, and companies led by Elon Musk identified as early targets. The probes could focus on issues such as Apple hosting a tracking app used by immigration enforcement agencies, Meta requiring local governments to sign non-disclosure agreements for data center projects, and Trump using Grok, an AI chatbot from a Musk-owned company, to plan military operations.
