Musk is not a DOGE employee and "has no actual or formal authority," White House says

Elon Musk is not the administrator of DOGE and nor is he an employee of the department that's overseeing massive cuts to the federal workforce and agencies, either, per a Monday night White House court filing.
The White House has clarified that Elon Musk, despite his significant influence in the tech and social media spheres, holds no formal or actual authority within the U.S. government. This statement was made in response to Musk's interactions with foreign leaders and his comments on various policy issues, which have sometimes led to confusion about his role. The clarification comes amidst discussions about Musk's involvement in international affairs, particularly his communications with leaders like Vladimir Putin and his public statements on matters like Ukraine and Taiwan. The White House emphasized that while Musk can offer insights and engage in discussions, he does not have any official governmental power or decision-making capacity.
