- Christopher Sweet, a third-year University of Chicago student, is working at HUD's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) under Elon Musk.
- Sweet's role involves using AI to review and rewrite HUD regulations, focusing on deregulation efforts.
- He has access to HUD's public housing data and enterprise income verification systems.
- Sweet's work aligns with Project 2025, a Trump administration policy pushing for widespread deregulation.
- An AI tool flags areas where HUD may have 'overreached' and suggests regulatory changes, reviewed by PIH staff.
- The AI model is being refined for potential government-wide use, crawling through the Code of Federal Regulations.
- Sweet's background includes founding East Edge Securities and roles in private equity firms.
- DOGE's presence at HUD has raised concerns, including unauthorized access to sensitive systems and staff terminations.
- Sweet has minimal online presence, with links to finance-related GitHub and Substack accounts.
