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.
By arbitrarily denying regular people their tax returns for the sake of “saving money”
Yup. Tax refunds are about to become a thing of the past. For the bottom 99%, that is.
IRS audits for politically motivated reasons are about to become a thing.
And tampering for cover-ups.
I don’t think there’s anything “arbitrary” about who they fuck over.
nope. they know exactly who they are targeting. Black, gay, trans, women, poor people.
