GSA Shuts Down Technology Office 18F Amid Controversy

The General Services Administration (GSA) has officially shuttered its technology unit, 18F, a move that has left many agencies in a difficult position. This decision, attributed to the Trump Administration, is seen by some as chaotic and potentially detrimental to government tech initiatives. In the wake of these cuts, Elon Musk’s DOGE has notably fired the federal tech team responsible for the free tax-filing site, leading to further concerns about the future of government tech services. Entrepreneur Mark Cuban has stepped in to offer support to the laid-off workers, highlighting the impact of these recent job cuts.
