President Donald Trump said that Elon Musk is in charge of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), after the White House submitted court papers saying the tech billionaire is only an adviser and isn’t leading the group.

The White House stated to a judge earlier this week that Musk was not in charge with respect to a lawsuit filed by Democratic attorneys general against Musk and DOGE.
