Joe Gebbia, co-founder of Airbnb, has officially joined President Trump's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) to enhance the often clunky paper-based retirement process. His position aims to leverage his design expertise to improve user experience in government services. Musk's concerns over slow application processing have spotlighted the need for digitization, with the U.S. Office of Personnel Management recently achieving a fully digital retirement application process. Despite his significant ties to Airbnb, Gebbia faces backlash from users for his political views and role in Trump's administration.
Excited to share I'm bringing my designer brain and start-up spirit into the government. I can think of few more important ones than volunteering to improve the user experience within our government.
The US Office of Personnel Management announced on Thursday that it had processed an entire retirement application digitally for the first time, completing the task without printing a single piece of paper within two days.
