The White House has declined to disclose who oversees the DOGE office, created by a Trump executive order. Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed that Elon Musk is not the DOGE administrator, but a special government employee. Despite assertions of transparency, the lack of details surrounding the administration raises questions. Leavitt indicated that career officials and political appointees exist at DOGE, complicating the narrative. Continued efforts for clarification from both the White House and DOGE representatives remain unanswered, leaving the public in uncertainty about leadership.
Leavitt also clarified, 'There are career officials at DOGE, there are political appointees at DOGE. I'm not going to reveal the name of that individual from this podium.'
During a press briefing, Leavitt noted, 'No, Elon Musk is a special government employee,' highlighting the ambiguity surrounding Musk's role.
Leavitt suggested, 'I'm happy to follow up and provide that to you. But we have been incredibly transparent about the way DOGE has been working.'
Trump had asked Musk to oversee DOGE, but the White House has confirmed Musk is not the administrator or a DOGE employee.
