Airbnb Co-Founder Joe Gebbia Joins Elon Musk’s Government Efficiency Team

Joe Gebbia, a longtime Democratic donor turned Trump supporter, aligns with Musk’s initiative to reduce federal spending and workforce under the Trump administration.

• Joe Gebbia, billionaire co-founder of Airbnb and Tesla board member, has joined Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) within the Trump administration.
• The Department of Government Efficiency aims to downsize the federal workforce and budget, with Musk leading the initiative since Trump’s re-election.
• Gebbia’s specific role within DOGE remains unclear, but he was seen at the Office of Personnel Management in Washington, D.C., on Friday morning.
• Once a vocal critic of Trump, Gebbia has shifted politically in recent years, influenced by figures like Robert F. Kennedy Jr., and now supports Republican policies.
