Hot Topic Overview
Overview
a16z co-founder Marc Andreessen recently discussed the work focus of the US government’s Department of Efficiency (DOGE) on a podcast. The department plans to push for an increase in the number of days federal employees work from the office. Currently, federal office buildings in Washington DC are only at an average occupancy of 25%. Andreessen questioned whether this model meets the requirements of federal employee identity and pointed out that DOGE has proposed “innovative ideas” to cut government spending and optimize regulations. Earlier, Trump advisors Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy suggested cutting $2 trillion in spending by reducing government waste, but those plans are still in the proposal stage. Additionally, there are reports that Andreessen is supporting Trump after the Biden administration cracked down on cryptocurrencies and that he is an “unpaid volunteer” for DOGE.
