White House Says Elon Musk is a Senior Adviser with No Decision-Making Power
The White House clarified on Monday that Elon Musk’s role in the Trump administration is as a senior adviser to the president, not as an official employee of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).
A filing from Joshua Fisher, the director of the White House’s Office of Administration, confirmed that Musk does not have decision-making power and can only offer advice or relay the president’s directives.
Fisher’s filing, part of a case against Musk filed by the State of New Mexico, emphasized that Musk is not employed by the US DOGE Service, nor does he hold the title of DOGE Service Administrator.
The filing also stressed that, like other senior White House advisors, Musk lacks the formal authority to make government decisions on his own.
