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.

    Haha! WTF! It’s a group chat in a messaging app - not some super high tech hacking operation!

        Hey! I’m a Boomer, and I can use my phone very well, thank you very much. Don’t blame it on him being a Boomer, blame it on him for the REAL reason - he’s just virtuosically stupid, like every one of them on those texts (except the journalist).
