White House officials have confirmed that billionaire Elon Musk is overseeing the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) while an acting administrator has been appointed to the role. Amy Gleason, a low-profile executive with expertise in healthcare technology, has been named as the acting leader of DOGE. This department is responsible for streamlining federal agencies and identifying billions of dollars in government waste.
Gleason's identity was revealed after a reporter questioned White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt about who is actually running DOGE. President Donald Trump's executive order to create DOGE called for the appointment of a DOGE administrator, prompting the inquiry.
