Billionaire Elon Musk is not a formal employee of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) and does not have the authority to make government decisions, according to a filing from the White House. While Musk is considered the de facto head of DOGE, he is actually a non-career Special Government Employee and Senior Advisor to President Donald Trump. Musk’s role is strictly advisory, and he does not have the power to make decisions on his own. The filing comes in response to a case brought against Musk by 14 states, including New Mexico, questioning his role within the government. During an upcoming interview with Musk on Fox News, Trump addressed criticisms that Musk runs the White House, stating that people are smart enough to understand the situation. Musk agreed, highlighting the challenges of dealing with negative publicity. This clarification by the White House sheds light on Musk’s position and clarifies his role within the government. It is evident that Musk’s influence is more informal than formal, and he mainly functions as an advisor to the President rather than a decision-maker.
