What is Elon Musk's actual role in the Department of Government Efficiency (Doge)?

According to a recent court filing, Elon Musk is not technically part of the Department of Government Efficiency (Doge) as previously reported. Instead, he serves as a senior advisor to the President. This clarification contradicts earlier White House communications about his position. This advisory role potentially allows Musk to serve longer than the originally articulated six-month term of employment. The White House is sending mixed signals about who is actually running Doge, creating confusion about the leadership structure and Musk's precise responsibilities within the government efficiency initiative.
