Joe Gebbia, cofounder and former chief product officer of Airbnb, announced his role in Elon Musk's government efficiency commission, DOGE. He plans to tackle the lengthy, manual retirement process for federal workers. Musk has criticized the current system for its inefficiencies, noting it limits retirements to around 10,000 per month due to its paper-based nature. Gebbia, eager to apply his design skills, aims to enhance government user experiences, highlighting the importance of digital innovation in public services.
Excited to share I'm bringing my designer brain and start-up spirit into the government. My first project at DOGE will be to improve the slow and paper-based retirement process for federal employees.
Well, because all the retirement paperwork is manual, on paper. It's manually calculated then written down on a piece of paper, then it goes down a mine.
I can think of few more important ones than volunteering to improve the user experience within our government.
It would take many years to replace the paper-based system with an online platform they're testing.
