A PROPRIETARY chatbot—

proprietary— private, someone owns it—

Musk rolled it out quietly — WITHIN THE US GOVERNMENT— as he cuts federal workers.

And “The DOGE team hopes to eventually use it to analyze contract and procurement data.”

The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans U.S. national-security leaders included me in a group chat about upcoming military strikes in Yemen. I didn't think it could be real. Then the bombs started falling. By Jeffrey Goldberg March 24, 2025, 12:06 PM ET Andrew Harnik / Getty

The world found out shortly before 2 p.m. eastern time on March 15 that the United States was bombing Houthi targets across Yemen. I, however, knew two hours before the first bombs exploded that the attack might be coming. The reason I knew this is that Pete Hegseth, the secretary of defense, had texted me the war plan at 11:44 a.m. The plan included precise information about weapons packages, targets, and timing.

The White House (WH) Office of Management and Budget (OMB) quietly took down a website required by law.

The website let the public view “approvals of federal funding provided in appropriations laws.” In 2022, Congress mandated this information be posted on the WH’s website.
