Christopher Sweet , a third-year student at the University of Chicago , is working for Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency ( DOGE ) at the Department of Housing and Urban Development .

His primary role appears to be leading an effort to leverage artificial intelligence to review HUD ’s regulations, compare them to the laws on which they are based, and identify areas where rules can be relaxed or removed altogether.

Sweet has virtually no online footprint.

He founded an investment firm in 2023 with two other students from the University of Chicago .

He is listed as a board member of Paragon Global Investments , a student-run hedge fund.

HUD source said Sweet ’s possible role in revising regulations was redundant because the agency was already through a multi-year multi-stakeholder meatgrinder.
