The White House said Monday that Elon Musk is technically not part of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), even though the tech billionaire is said to be leading its sweeping cost-cutting efforts.
Musk is an employee of the “White House Office” and serves as senior adviser to the president, according to a court filing from Joshua Fisher, director of the White House Office of Administration.
The Tesla and SpaceX CEO is not an employee of the U.S. DOGE Service or the U.S. DOGE Service Temporary Organization, both of which are separate from the White House Office, according to Fisher.
He is also not U.S. DOGE Service administrator, the position that leads DOGE, as laid out in President Trump’s executive order last month establishing the service.
“In his role as a Senior Advisor to the President, Mr. Musk has no greater authority than other senior White House advisors,” Fisher said in his declaration to the court.
“Like other senior White House advisors, Mr. Musk has no actual or formal authority to make government decisions himself,” he continued. “Mr. Musk can only advise the President and communicate the President’s directives.”
Fisher compared Musk’s role to that of Anita Dunn, who served as a senior adviser to former President Biden.
These lying cocksuckers. Only thing good about this is all these lies will add up and people will start turning on one another. I hope Musk looses everything in the end.
