  • Elon Musk is not the legal administrator in charge of the "Department of Government Efficiency," the White House said in a court filing Monday, and has "no actual or formal authority" to make government decisions.

The article from KPBS discusses the White House's response to Elon Musk's influence over Dogecoin, a cryptocurrency he has publicly supported. Despite Musk's significant impact on Dogecoin's market value through his social media posts, the White House has clarified that legally, Musk is not in charge of Dogecoin. This statement comes in the context of broader discussions about cryptocurrency regulation and the potential for market manipulation.

It also touches on the ongoing debate about whether such actions by public figures should be subject to regulatory scrutiny or considered free speech.
