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 agency known as "Doge" is Musk's brainchild, but the White House insists that he is not its leader - or even employed by it.

Gleason worked for DOGE’s predecessor agency before joining the firm Russell Street Ventures, founded by another DOGE leader, Brad Smith.
