The news, first reported by Semafor, is the first time the White House has confirmed who is overseeing the team of government cost-cutters. The White House previously said Musk was not officially leading DOGE, leaving the role of the team’s administrator ambiguous. Musk is a White House employee and a senior advisor to the president.

Amy Gleason is the acting administrator of the US DOGE Service, the agency that houses the temporary Department of Government Efficiency, a White House official told CNN on Tuesday.

Long a mystery who was technically in charge of the Department of Government Efficiency, the White House identified low-profile executive Amy Gleason.

Twenty-one civil workers, who previously worked for the U.S. Digital Service, resigned in opposition against Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency.

We swore to serve the American people and uphold our oath to the Constitution across presidential administrations,” the 21 staffers wrote in a joint resignation letter, a copy of which was obtained by The Associated Press.

More than one third of the canceled contracts by Elon Musk's DOGE are not expected to save the government any money.

Nearly 40% of the federal contracts President Donald Trump's administration claims to have canceled as part of its signature cost-cutting program aren’t expected to save any money

Musk's 'Wall of Receipts' includes a long list of contracts that have already been paid out and won't save the government, or the taxpayer, any money.
