Donald Trump Assigns ‘First Buddy’ Elon Musk to Investigate Signal Security Breach

Elon Musk and the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) will support the White House and National Security Council in probing how a journalist was mistakenly added to a Signal group chat with top U.S. security officials. The chat, which included Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio, was focused on military operations in Yemen. National Security Adviser Mike Waltz took responsibility but couldn’t clarify how the journalist’s number was included. Meanwhile, a federal lawsuit challenges officials' use of Signal, alleging it breaches record-keeping laws. The White House maintains that no classified information was disclosed.
