Summary
Elon Musk has requested access to the IRS’s Integrated Data Retrieval System, which contains personal tax information for millions of Americans.
The request has not yet been granted but has raised alarm among privacy experts and government officials.
Critics fear Musk could misuse the data, especially given his existing federal contracts. The IRS is considering a memorandum to permit access, despite strict rules against unauthorized viewing.
A federal judge has already blocked DOGE from accessing Treasury data, but other agencies remain vulnerable.
How would that help make the government more efficient? What is his justification?
First thing that came to mind for me is going after retired federal employees, veterans, etc. Also locating immigrants, even if they’re here legally with documentation.
No. Fuck no.
He’ll get it
Since when has musk asked for anything? Aside from gov subsidies of course.
Fucking called it.

Even better, the “audit” will be done by some teenager named “Big Balls”.
I’m sure they have the wisdom, the experience, and level-headed presence of mind to properly deal with that kind of responsibility.
Good news everyone!
Musky’s audit has shown the billionaires are actually owed money from the government. Thankfully, those professionally weekend trained auditors confirmed that the working class owes billions in taxes.
The working class has two options: come with the money or be sent to a work camp to pay off the ever increasing tax debt.
From someone who took Records and Information Management years ago, this is a huge red flag and everyone in the US should be alarmed and pissed off about this.
Elon and his DOGE fools have no right to have access to American’s IRS records.
What? You don’t think some teenager with a stupid online nickname and Wicked Cool 7331 Hax0r Coding Skillz has the right to your data and my data?
I fully trust Big Balls
I did kind of wonder if that punk was somehow a fan of AC/DC…
Oh, I’m sure it’s all for good reasons of “efficiency” and more of fElon’s altruism and deep concern for the country.
🙄
Fuck Musk and ship him back to South Africa without a US passport.
Fuck Musk but this thing of shipping people around is crap. Just jail him like any regular criminal.
Nah, just put him in one of those idiot squishers like the Titan-1C that took out a handful of billionaires last year.
Seize everything he owns down to the last penny. He now has to work an entry level job for minimum wage.
Glad I filed my taxes last weekend. Just got my state return and my federal soon. Considering 1,000 people got laid off at the IRS with tax season people will be waiting months for their returns
I started mine early but I’m still waiting for tax documents to arrive, ugh
hell.
the fuck.
NO.
He wants to live like common people. He wants to see whatever common people see.
— he’s never paid any tax, so he obviously wants to live vicariously with the eyes of the poors. Not as one though, just wants to get closer to understanding them by looking at their tax returns, illegally.
Everybody hates a tourist. Especially one who thinks it′s all such a laugh.
Read only access, right?
Right?
They’ll start deporting American citizens who haven’t paid their student loans. Back to America! To Guantanamo!
All office dudes are shaking in their pants.
No, we’re not.
