A recent White House court filing clarifies that Elon Musk, acting as a Senior Advisor to the President, is not an employee or leader in the U.S. DOGE Service (USDS) initiative aimed at improving technology and cutting costs. The filing dismisses claims of his authority to make government decisions, emphasizing his advisory nature, which conflicts with public statements from Musk and Trump. This clarification arises amidst a lawsuit questioning the legality of Musk's influence in the administration and concerns regarding the violation of constitutional separation of powers.
In his role as a Senior Advisor to the President, Mr. Musk has no greater authority than other senior White House advisors. He can only advise the President.
The White House filing states Musk is not the USDS administrator in charge of the DOGE effort and did not identify who holds that position.
