President of the United States Donald Trump appointed a co-founder Airbnb, Joe Gebbia (44), fresh head of government design. Gebbia wrote on platform X that he wants to redesign public services provided by U.S. national agencies so that the usage of them in the future is as satisfying to citizens as utilizing the App store company Apple.
Gebbia will lead the recently created National plan Studio, which aims to improve the digital services of national agencies. The stated goal is to supply users with experience that "expresses the level of excellence for our nation and facilitates the lives of the average Americans," Gebbia wrote.
"User friendliness and aesthetics"
The White home announced that Gebbia would oversee the redesign of about 26,000 national websites, many of which are obsolete. According to the decree, the studio aims to improve the "utility and aesthetics" of digital services and will be closed in 3 years.
Gebbia, whose assets are estimated at about $8 billion according to the American Forbes magazine, is 1 of the giant Silicon Valley giants who have turned their backs on American Democrats in fresh years and turned to Donald Trump. According to the reports of the fresh York Times, Gebbia financially supported Trump's, Hillary Clinton (2016) and Joe's run campaigns Bidena (2020) . They say he even supported Biden in 2023.
Shortly before Trump's inauguration in January 2025, Gebbia has published a kind of “confession”. He claimed that he had ‘done something terrible’ for which his younger same would gotta hatred himself. He voted Republican in the November 2024 election. Gebbia said that thanks to his own investigation he concluded that Trump "was not a fascist and was not determined to destruct democracy".
Doge's Minimalised Successor
Another digital giant had a disagreement with Trump as an advisor: a technology billionaire Elon Musk, the owner of Platform X and president Tesla, until the end of May he led a controversial DOGE cost-cutting committee aimed at introducing drastic cuts and reducing employment. A dispute ensued over Trump's tax-budget bill. Gebbia, in turn, is simply a associate of the supervisory board of Tesla, a company owned by Muska.According to a White home planner, the plan studio is simply a smaller version of the Doge studio.
