What is Elon Musk's official role in relation to Doge (Department of Government Efficiency)?

According to White House court filings, Elon Musk is technically not the administrator of Doge, despite prior impressions. Instead, he works as a special government employee serving as a senior adviser to the president. While Musk makes recommendations through Doge, the actual execution of these decisions falls to the secretaries or heads of respective departments and agencies. This clarification emerged amid legal challenges over Musk's unusual powers within the White House structure, despite not officially heading the U.S. Digital Service that was transformed into Doge.
