Mark Cubaner, billionaire investor Mark Cubaner, campaigned in the latest government tech-shahar-up on Saturday and published an unexpected support offer for newly relieved federal workers in the social network bluesky.
Be NewsWhat quickly won in traction asked the displaced engineers and designers to transform the upheaval to their advantage.
“When they were worked and released for 18f, they group a consulting company together,” wrote Cuban. “It is only a matter of time before Doge needs you to fix the chaos that you have inevitably created. You have to hire your company as a contractor to fix it. But to your conditions. I like to invest and/or help. “
The Cuban’s offer came after the General Services Administration of the Government (GSA) abrupt its 18F technology unit from the outdoor area of
The layoffs in the early morning are connected to a guideline of the Trump management to reduce the federal employees and the slash editions at the behest of Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (Doge). The cuts were not a premiere for 18f; According to Politico, two dozen 18F employees were released in February when the GSA employees shortened the trialers.
Those who are affected in the early morning hours on Saturday morning also preserved E -mails late Friday by Doge with the subject line: “What did you do last week? Part II. “
According to politico, the e -mails – the employees were widespread to list their weekly achievements by Monday – widely widespread over several agencies, including the State Department, the IRS and the NIH.
After these new layoffs, the proposal in Cubans presents a fascinating option: Could the workers who displace the government to the government to reorganize the future of civil technology on their own conditions? When Doge moves into the breakdown of the agencies, Musk Fallout even recognized, which is connected to the speed with which his team moves.

If the Cuban has its way, at least such a unit can be in a private company that the government has no choice but to rely on it. Another bluesky user even had a branding idea for the startup. Tell Cubans“Name the new company 18fu.”
