White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt declined to name the administrator of the Department of Government Efficiency during Tuesday’s press briefing. By all indications, Elon Musk has been leading DOGE and the Trump administration’s mission to shrink the size of the federal government and cut allegedly wasteful or fraudulent spending.

The White House refused to disclose the name of the administrator in charge of DOGE as reporters sought clarification on Musk's role with the agency on Tuesday.
