What is Elon Musk's actual role within the Doge initiative?

According to recent court filings, Elon Musk is not technically the administrator or head of Doge as previously suggested by White House communications. Instead, he is working as a special government employee and serves as a senior adviser to the president on this initiative. This clarification came to light when White House spokesperson Caroline Levitt acknowledged the distinction, explaining that while Musk provides recommendations, he doesn't hold the official administrative title within the Department of Government Efficiency (Doge), which was created from the former US Digital Service.
