Summary

Trump appointed Elon Musk, head of the DOGE, to investigate how a journalist was accidentally added to a Signal chat discussing military operations in Yemen.

National Security Adviser Mike Waltz admitted fault but could not explain how the contact was saved. Trump speculated that the journalist may have added himself.

The investigation will involve Musk’s technical team, the National Security Council, and White House lawyers.

A federal lawsuit challenges the use of Signal for government communication, alleging it violates federal law.

    Is it some sort of literal ‘big brain’ show off thing?
