Washington Post [no paywall] – “Joe Gebbia, an Elon Musk ally who also worked for DOGE, said navigating dot-gov websites should be just as easy as visiting the Apple Store. President Donald Trump’s new chief design officer says he wants to overhaul the interface of government websites to make them more beautiful and less complicated to use — like a visit to the Apple Store. Joe Gebbia, an Airbnb co-founder who was recruited early this year to work with the U.S. DOGE Service as an ally of Elon Musk, said Saturday he was appointed by Trump to redevelop the federal government’s digital presence through the newly established National Design Studio (NDS). “My directive is to update today’s government services to be as satisfying to use as the Apple Store: beautifully designed, great user experience, run on modern software,” Gebbia said in a statement on X. “I will do my best to make the U.S. the most beautiful, and usable, country in the digital world.”
