Billionaire Airbnb Co-Founder Is Said to Take Role in Musk’s Government Initiative
Joe Gebbia is a board member at Tesla and is close to Elon Musk, the company’s C.E.O.

One of Elon Musk’s closest friends, a billionaire co-founder of Airbnb, is taking a role in President Trump’s administration to help Mr. Musk carry out his drive to slash the federal bureaucracy, according to a person with knowledge of the matter.

Joe Gebbia, the Airbnb co-founder, is a board member at Tesla who lives in Austin, where Mr. Musk, Tesla’s chief executive, keeps a large compound. He is planning to start shortly in the federal government as part of Mr. Musk’s team, which has been called the Department of Government Efficiency, according to the person with knowledge of the matter.

It is not clear what precisely Mr. Gebbia will do or how formal his role will be. Many members of Mr. Musk’s government-overhaul effort float among agencies depending on the day’s tasks. Many of them consider their center of gravity to be the Office of Personnel Management or the General Services Administration.

Early Friday morning, Mr. Gebbia arrived at O.P.M.’s downtown Washington, D.C., headquarters in a black S.U.V. with a three-man security detail. He declined to comment as he was escorted inside by an O.P.M. official and one of his bodyguards.[/quote]
