Several members of Elon Musk\u2019s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) made their first public appearance as a team to make the case for their cost-cutting efforts amid growing pushback. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The tech billionaire and seven DOGE staffers sat for an interview with Fox News host Brett Baier on Thursday, where they discussed their push to slash $1 trillion worth of government spending. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Here\u2019s who\u2019s on the DOGE team: <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Steve Davis<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n Steve Davis, who has worked alongside Musk for years, is serving as the \u201cchief operating officer\u201d of DOGE, Baier said. Davis described DOGE as an \u201cinspiring mission\u201d that was \u201cworth doing.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n He has previously worked at several of Musk\u2019s companies, including SpaceX, the Boring Company and Twitter, now X. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Airbnb co-founder Joe Gebbia is running DOGE\u2019s Digital Retirement Project. He said he has been working to digitize millions of retirement documents housed in a mine in Pennsylvania. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThe retirement process is all by paper, literally, with people carrying paper and manila envelopes into this gigantic mine so they can\u2019t retire more than a certain number every month, about 8000 a month,\u201d Gebbia said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n He said they discovered this limit amid a push to encourage voluntary retirements among employees as DOGE seeks to shrink the federal workforce. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
