Airbnb Guy to Fix Government: Now Loadingā¦ Forever
Joe Gebbia, Airbnb cofounder turned Trump-appointed US chief design officer, vows to overhaul government sites to match 'the Apple Store' experience. With his new gig created by an executive order titled 'America by Design,' Gebbia says it's 'time to fill digital potholes' and insists, 'There's no reason why our government can't be a standard for great design.' The White House DOGE office project and a July 4, 2026 deadline suggest a marathon of redesigns ahead, but hey, even the slowest government āfront doorā could use a little Airbnb magic, right?

Nothing screams speedy, modern government reform like a guy who helped you rent strangerās couches getting appointed by Trump to pimp federal websites. Because if Airbnb didnāt stall your check-in, surely bureaucracy will sparkle now.
Joe Gebbia fixing federal websites sounds promising until you realize replacing paper with slick Apple vibes might still leave that 404 error the federal way: permanent and unfixed.
Appointing an Airbnb cofounder as chief design officer is like hiring a plumber to paint your houseāsure, itās related to water, but donāt expect miracles.
