The guide along with the rest of 18F’s website was wiped from the internet, increasing the risk of government agencies being misled by technology vendors for a period until it the site was reinstated.&nbsp;</p><p>‘“We’ve already seen a pattern from Musk, documented in the media, of Musk taking government money,” said one former 18F employee, pointing to the $38 billion Musk has collected in federal contracts to date. “He’s been public beneficiary number one, and if there’s no one around to say, ‘Hey, this contract is not written well, this is going to get us the wrong project, we don’t need to be spending this much money.’</p><p><a href="https://aus.social/tags/USPol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>USPol</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/PresidentMusk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PresidentMusk</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/UnitedStatesofFraud" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>UnitedStatesofFraud</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Crime" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Crime</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Fraud" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Fraud</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/TrumpTheDon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>TrumpTheDon</span></a> <br><a href="https://aus.social/tags/18F" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>18F</span></a></p>
Bret Mogilefsky<p>Before being eliminated, 18F saved taxpayers billions in bad contracts and failed software projects over 11 years. I was very proud of my time in early-18F, from which we launched shared services and critical components for federal technologists, like cloud.gov, login.gov, and the US Web Design Standards. I was so driven by the mission and hooked on public service that when I termed out, I reapplied and came back in a permanent role in a neighboring group, where I still work today.</p><p>The wanton overnight destruction of <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/18F" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>18F</span></a> was shocking, and should be a major scandal.
