Steve Davis, a longtime cost-cutting expert at SpaceX and Twitter, is bringing his skills to the government in an effort to reduce waste, while also running Musk’s tunneling startup, the Boring Company. As president of the Boring Company, Davis has gained a reputation for finding ways to save hundreds of dollars on costs, negotiating hard deals with suppliers, and implementing cost-effective solutions that are unusual for a company valued at millions. His unique approach is now being applied to Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency, where he will focus on recruiting staff and driving efficiency in government operations.
