President Trump declared Elon Musk as the head of the newly formed Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) at a conference, praising his efforts amidst legal confusion about Musk's official position. This assertion contradicted a White House filing stating that Musk is a Senior Advisor without the authority to make government decisions. The White House has been unable to clarify leadership details within DOGE, further complicating Musk’s role amid ongoing legal battles regarding the agency's operations and potential firings.
I signed an order creating the Department of Government Efficiency and put a man named Elon Musk in charge, Thank you, Elon, for doing it. And he's doing a great job.
Mr. Musk is an employee of the White House office... He holds that position as a non-career Special Government Employee (SGE). In that job, Mr. Musk is a Senior Advisor to the President.
