Mark Cuban offers to finance the government technology unit that was cut in the middle of the night
Bloom investor Mark Kobe made the latest government technology traders on Saturday, where he published an unexpected offer to support the newly -placed federal workers on the social network Bluesky.
for him messageAnd that gained the speed of traction, urging engineers and designers displaced to turn the disorders into their interest.
“If you are working in 18F and fired, a group together to start a consulting company,” Cuban Books. “It is a matter of time before Dog needs you to repair the chaos that you created inevitably. They will have to employ your company as a contractor to repair it. But on your conditions. I am happy to invest and/or help.”
The Cuban show came after the government’s public services department (GSA) was suddenly destroyed by the 18F technology unit, which helps other government agencies to build, buy and share technical products. For every politicianThe demobilization of workers affected nearly 70 individuals who learned the news at about one o’clock on Saturday. Among other things, the unit was said to have built Login.gov, which is a safe and special means for the public to access services in government agencies, including social security and the Ministry of Old Warriors Affairs.
Displacement operations in the early morning are associated with directives from the Trump administration to reduce the federal workforce and cut off the pieces at the request of the government efficiency management in Elon Musk (Doug). The first cuts were not 18f; According to Politico, twenty other employees were demobilized in 18f in February when GSA reduced the test staff.
Those affected in the early hours of Saturday morning Also received Email messages late Friday from Dog with the topic line, “What did you do last week? Part Two.”
According to Politico, emails – which prompted employees to include their weekly achievements by Monday – was widely distributed through multiple agencies, including the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, IRS and NIH.
In the aftermath of these new hairdos, the Cuban proposal provides an interesting possibility: Can workers who were expelled from the government help reshape the future of civil technology on their own conditions? While Dog is moving to dismantling agencies, Musk passed until the repercussions associated with the speed with which his team moves. On Wednesday, Musk shared this, “for example, with the United States Agency for International Development, one of the things that we It was mistakenly canceled – Very briefly – It was the prevention of Ebola. (Public health experts have since said the government’s support It has not been completely restored))
The question now is whether some of the percentage of the increasing number of the government of former displaced employees will take advantage of this moment, as they collect together to build startups that can sell their experiences one day to the government. If so, this will be an amazing development in the administration’s efforts to reduce the public workforce.
If the Cuban has a way, you may find at least one unit of such a private company, as the government chooses only to rely on it. Another Bluesky user even had a brand idea to start operating, Cuban news“The name of the new company 18FU.”
