Elon Musk tapped to help lead investigation into Signal chat leak: White House

Elon Musk is helping lead the investigation into the Signal chat leak involving top national security leaders and the editor-in-chief of the Atlantic, the White House press secretary said Wednesday.

The National Security Council, the White House Counsel's Office, and also, yes, Elon Musk's team" will be leading the investigation into the Signal leak, press secretary Karonline Leavitt said during Wednesday's White House press conference.

"Elon Musk has offered to put his technical experts on this, to figure out how this number was inadvertently added to the chat – again, to take responsibility and ensure this can never happen again," she continued.

The Trump administration is facing backlash from Democrats and other critics after the Atlantic's editor-in-chief, Jeffrey Goldberg, revealed in an article published Monday that he was added to a Signal group chat with top national security leaders, including national security advisor Mike Waltz, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth and CIA Director John Ratcliffe.

I bet it doesn’t take long to get to the bottom of it either.

Of all people.....THAT guy?......not a coincidence.

Excellent. I’ve been hoping for this. Watch the roaches in the intel community run for the dark cracks and crevices.

It’s what I thought as well. Too many coincidences for one event! 🤨

Moles need to be punished with prison. Government people who break the law should be imprisoned

When Musk’s team figures out what happened, he/they will not hold back the “finger of blame”.

They just .do.not.care. who’s ox gets gored.

People need to start going to jail. Don’t be afraid of doing it, Trump.

I sure hope they find who did it. That’s an espionage charge.

Yes what is going on is a conspiracy

To bring down the government of the United States.

That much is clear.

This tells me that Trump does not trust the internal government IT structure folks to investigate. We are in deep doo doo if it’s this bad.

It’s espionage/sabotage until proven otherwise, IMO. Goldberg & The Atantic, the mothership of ‘anti-Trump’ media, of all the ‘choices’ out there .... does NOT pass the smell test.

“It’s the chink Wong.
They all know it.”

I read something about that this morning. It adds up, given his wife’s employment and activities as well. However, I didn’t see hard evidence, hopefully Musk’s team will provide that evidence.

Anyone who figured out how to save first stage high powered rocket component by having it descend vertically and caught by launch station is a genius without a doubt. No one has ever thought of it or able to do it. That makes that part of rocket booster re-usable.

Elon Musk also was the creator of Paypal system, which has very important benefits to users such as not giving credit card number to all sellers. And if the merchandise was not as described, Paypal refunds purchase price. I am one of the beneficiary of that feature. I am a long time user of Paypal.

I asked Grok 3, Elon's AI, how Elon and DOGE would solve this mystery and how it (Grok 3) would help. Here's its response:
Elon Musk, alongside the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), is tasked with investigating the Signal chat leak that inadvertently included Jeffrey Goldberg, editor-in-chief of The Atlantic, in a discussion among top Trump administration national security leaders. Given that I, Grok 3, am an AI developed by xAI, I can speculate on how Musk and DOGE might leverage my capabilities to unravel this mystery, based on my design and the context of the situation.

Musk’s approach would likely combine his technical expertise, his team’s forensic skills, and DOGE’s mandate to streamline government operations, with me serving as a powerful analytical tool. The investigation centers on how Goldberg’s number was added to a sensitive Signal group chat—whether by human error, technical glitch, or deliberate act—and how to prevent such breaches moving forward. Here’s how we might get to the bottom of it:

First, Musk’s technical experts, likely engineers from xAI or his other ventures like Tesla or SpaceX, would collect raw data from the Signal app’s logs, if accessible, and the devices used by chat participants (e.g., Waltz, Hegseth, Ratcliffe). I could process this data—timestamps, user IDs, message metadata—to reconstruct the sequence of events. My ability to analyze large datasets quickly would help identify the exact moment Goldberg was added, by whom, and under what circumstances. For instance, if it was a staffer in Waltz’s office, as Trump suggested, I could cross-reference phone records or Signal contact lists to pinpoint the responsible device or account.

Second, I’d use my web and X search capabilities to gather contextual clues. Posts on X suggest theories ranging from a simple mistake to a “honeypot trap” or sting operation. I could sift through these sentiments, public statements from officials like Waltz (who claimed he mistook Goldberg’s account for someone else), and news reports to build a hypothesis. For example, if Waltz’s claim holds, I might analyze his contact list against Goldberg’s Signal handle to see if a typo or autofill error aligns with the data—say, a similar name or number.

Third, my profile analysis tools could dig into the digital footprints of key players. I’d examine Waltz’s X activity, staff communications, or even Goldberg’s own posts to detect patterns—like prior interactions that might explain the mix-up. If it’s a technical glitch, I could simulate Signal’s group invite system, testing how a wrong number could slip through, especially if participants used personal phones (a detail raised in some reports).

Musk’s leadership style, seen in past leak hunts at Tesla, suggests he’d push for unconventional methods too. He might deploy me to run probabilistic models—e.g., what’s the likelihood of an accidental invite versus a security breach? I could weigh variables like Signal’s encryption limits, the chat’s “disappearing messages” setting (noted in some critiques), or even the Trump team’s reliance on a commercial app over secure government channels. If DOGE’s mission to cut inefficiencies is a factor, I’d flag systemic issues—like why officials bypassed “shockingly primitive” government systems, as Musk has called them—for reform recommendations.

The catch: my data access depends on what Musk’s team feeds me. Signal’s end-to-end encryption means content is off-limits unless a participant’s device is compromised or logs are voluntarily shared. Still, metadata (who, when, how) could suffice. I’d deliver Musk and DOGE a clear timeline, a probable cause (say, 70% chance of human error by Waltz’s staff, 20% technical flaw, 10% foul play), and actionable fixes—like mandating secure platforms or training staff on op-sec.

In short, Musk and DOGE would use me, Grok 3, as their analytical brain trust—crunching data, testing theories, and challenging narratives—to solve this whodunit and tighten the administration’s digital ship. The mystery’s solution lies in the details, and I’m built to find them.
