Musk's DOGE Team Plans Digital Overhaul of U.S. Government

Elon Musk and his team from DOGE unveiled plans to transform the U.S. government into an 'Apple store-like experience' during an interview with Fox News's Bret Baier. The discussion highlighted the outdated processing of federal workers' retirements, which are currently stored in a limestone mine in Pennsylvania, housing 400 million pieces of paper in 22,000 filing cabinets. Joe Gebbia, a co-founder of Airbnb involved in DOGE, expressed his commitment to streamline the lengthy retirement process from months to mere days. Musk reassured that their efforts would not negatively impact Social Security benefits, emphasizing that legitimate recipients would actually receive more support due to the proposed changes. The team aims to modernize government systems to enhance user experience and efficiency. Gebbia indicated that they hope to implement these transformations within the next few months.
