AI-generated illustrationA new museum devoted to Charles and Ray Eames in the Bay Area of Northern California has received more than $25 million in initial funding from Joe Gebbia, the Airbnb cofounder.
Gebbia previously worked with DOGE and was appointed by President Donald Trump to help lead the federal government’s efforts on eliminating wasteful spending.
