White House says Elon Musk is Trump's adviser and not the DOGE administrator

SeattlePI.com Tuesday, 18 February 2025 ()
The White House says billionaire Elon Musk is not the administrator of the Department of Government Efficiency team sweeping through federal agencies, but rather a senior adviser to President Donald Trump. That's according to court documents. The declaration was filed Monday as the Trump administration fends off a lawsuit from several Democratic states that want to block Musk and the DOGE team from government systems. They say he’s wielding sweeping power to access data and make mass layoffs without being confirmed by the Senate, in violation of the Constitution. The Trump administration, on the other hand, says Musk has no actual authority to make government decisions himself.
