It has no more authority than any other special counselor of the White House, nor real or formal authority to make decisions on their own. White house felt the need to put everything in clean dishes.
Elon Musk works as a consultant US President Donald Trump and does not officially lead the Department of Government Efficiency (Doge), according to one in court of an White House employee.
The doge “is separated from the White House Office,” said the director of the Office of Administration at the headquarters of the US Presidency Joshua Fisher, before a court, clarifying that “you Musk is an employee of the White House Office, not a doge employee“.
By a presidential decree of the US President, on January 20, his inauguration day, Doge’s mission is to “modernize federal technology and software to maximize government efficiency and productivity,” according to the text.
From the beginning, the entrepreneur seems to be behind all Doge’s actions, whose name resonates as a reference to Dogecoin, a cryptocurrency promoted by Elon Musk. In fact, in November, before his inauguration with president, Trump announced that “the great Elon Musk, together with the US Patriot Vivek Ramaswamy, will lead the department of government efficiency.”
In the decree of January 20, the department officially appears linked to the division called the White House Executive Office, therefore, therefore, from the White House Office to which Elon Musk is on, which performs, according to Fisher, a function of “Special Counselor” of the President.
After countless ‘memes’ and online jokes about the billionaire’s influence on the new administration, which point out that Musk is, behind the curtain, the “true president” and not Trump, the White House was the need to explain:
“In his role as special counselor of the president, Mr. Musk has no authority than any other special counselor of the White House. Like other special counselors, Mr. Musk It has no real or formal authority to make decisions on their own. Mr. Musk can only advise the president and transmit his directives, ”explained the Federal employee.
Joshua Fisher made this statement as part of a lawsuit filed on February 13 against Elon Musk, Donald Trump and Doge by authorities from 14 US states, including New Mexico, who believe Elon Musk is acting on a role that exceed your official functions.
As “his appointment was not confirmed by the Senate”, his actions “are unconstitutional,” argue the signatories of the document.
In a television interview that will be broadcast this Tuesday, and from which excerpts are known, Donald Trump defends his relationship with Elon Musk and mocked the comments that the entrepreneur controls the US executive branch.
In another excerpt from this interview, the president denounces his opponents who want to sow discord between each other and musk.
“‘Donald Trump gave the presidency control to Elon Musk. President Musk will attend a cabinet meeting tonight at 20h00 ′, they say. I tell you this is a great trick, they are very weak, ”said the White House tenant.
