The White House has asked Elon Musk and his team at the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) to help investigate how a journalist was included on a Signal chat with national security officials.

“The National Security Council, the White House Counsel’s Office, and also yes, Elon Musk’s team,” press secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters when asked who was leading an investigation into the Signal mishap.

“Elon Musk has offered to put his technical experts on this to figure out how this number was inadvertently added to the chat, again to take responsibility and ensure this can never happen again,” she added.

National security adviser Mike Waltz, who apparently added editor-in-chief of The Atlantic Jeffrey Goldberg into the chat, told Fox News on Tuesday night that he spoke with Musk and said his “best technical minds” are looking into how Goldberg’s number got into his phone.

Musk, who is a top adviser to Trump, has been tasked with finding waste and abuse in the federal government and DOGE has been behind overhauls and staff cuts at various agencies.

The Tesla CEO wore a shirt that said “tech support” to a Cabinet meeting last month and wore the same title on his shirt for a meeting with Senate Republicans on Capitol Hill earlier this month.

The White House has insisted that no classified information was shared in the chat, which also included Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth and Vice President Vance, among others. The Atlantic shared more text from the chat earlier on Wednesday, which Goldberg said he didn’t include originally due to national security concerns.

The released text shows that Hegseth shared in the chat the specific timeline of the airstrike and what weapons would be used in the strikes in Yemen that began on March 15.
