Tesla board member Joe Gebbia, who is also the co-founder of Airbnb, is reportedly set to join Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), according to a recent report by The New York Times.
DOGE, established after the inauguration of U.S. President Donald Trump, aims to streamline federal bureaucracy. The agency, previously known as the United States Digital Service, has been rebranded as the “United States DOGE Service” under Musk’s leadership.
Gebbia, a longtime supporter of the Democratic Party before shifting towards the right, is expected to contribute to DOGE’s efforts. Despite his political evolution, Gebbia has not publicly commented on the matter.
The report did not specify Gebbia’s exact role within DOGE, but his background in technology and entrepreneurship suggests that he may play a key role in driving the agency’s mission forward.
Similar to Musk, Gebbia has been actively involved in politics, supporting Democratic candidates in previous elections. However, his recent alignment with more conservative viewpoints, influenced in part by Robert F. Kennedy Jr., has led him to support Republican candidates in recent years.
Gebbia’s decision to join DOGE underscores the growing influence of tech industry leaders in shaping government policies and initiatives. As the agency continues its efforts to modernize and optimize government services, Gebbia’s unique perspective and experience are expected to contribute significantly to its success.
