Airbnb co-founder and Tesla board member Joe Gebbia has joined the Trump administration’s Department of Government Efficiency, according to Benzinga. In a Fox News interview, Gebbia said he wants the government experience to be “like an Apple Store”—modern, well-designed, and user-friendly. The current retirement process relies on paper files stored in a Pennsylvania cave, taking months to process. Gebbia’s new role has sparked a backlash from Airbnb users, with some vowing to boycott the platform. Airbnb emphasized that Gebbia is serving in a personal capacity. Though he stepped back from operations in 2022, he remains on Airbnb’s board and holds a 7% stake.
