18F was founded during the Obama administration, so absolutely no one in MAGA-world will ever have considered it apolitical. One of the many fired IGs last year was investigating Neurolink - so noone in Musk-world will have considered them apolitical either. Nothing government-related or government-adjacent will ever be broadly accepted as apolitical again in the US, regardless of intent or truth. Its very depressing.
