In a TechFlow message from Shen Chao, according to Jinshi data reported on March 2, a spokesperson for the General Services Administration (GSA) said on Saturday that the Trump administration has fired a group of technically savvy civil servants who had helped set up the IRS’s free tax filing service and revamped websites for various government departments. GSA’s Director of Technology Transformation Services, Thomas Shedd, informed employees of the digital services team 18F that their work has been terminated because they have been identified as “non-essential” employees. About 90 18F employees were immediately banned from using their devices. Musk, who leads the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) team, responded earlier this month on the social media platform “X” to a post calling 18F the “computer office within the extreme left government scope,” stating that the team has been “deleted.” The Washington Post reported on Saturday that officials from Musk’s team expressed interest in using personal tax records to check for potential fraud in federal benefit payments.
