“So the president left Elon Musk to oversee the efforts,” Levitt said. “We have career officials and political appointees who help us run every day.
“Some individuals have been mounted as political appointees of all the agencies, all across the board, working with President Trump's Cabinet, to discover and identify waste, fraud, and abuse. They work on that effort every day. I'm here.”
Cordes asked immediately, “So, is Elon Musk the manager?” Leavitt called out another reporter twice.
