Steve Davis (executive)

Steven M. Davis (born 1979 or 1980) is a business executive. In early 2025, he was the effective leader of the United States Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). Davis has also served as president of the Boring Company.

The New York Times characterized Davis as Elon Musk's "top lieutenant", having played many roles within Musk's enterprises, particularly focused on cost cutting, firing, and dismantling organizations. Musk has compared him to chemotherapy, that is, poison to save a body from imminent death of cancer. His methods are controversial, as "experts are worried that the focus on reducing expenses could lead to a breakdown in provision of essential [government] services."
