Elon Musk's DOGE reviewing Signal group chat incident: White House official [View all]

I am not sure why the trumpies made this announcement and exactly what the Doge muskrats are going to do here. Why is Doge reviewing this matter? Does anyone care what Musk or his muskrats think on this issue ?

Elon Musk and his Department of Government Efficiency team are reviewing how The Atlantic editor was added to a Signal group chat where plans for a U.S. military attack in Yemen were discussed, a senior White House official confirmed to ABC News.

In his interview with Fox News Tuesday night, National Security Adviser Mike Waltz alluded to Musk's involvement, saying, "I just talked to Elon on the way here -- we have the best technical minds looking at how this happened."

The White House official confirmed to ABC News that DOGE is involved and that the team is working with other teams to make communications "more secure and efficient."

Additionally, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said on Fox News Tuesday evening that "Elon Musk's team of experts is looking at this, and the National Security Council is all digging into this matter to ensure this could never happen again."
