Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency is making moves to gain access to the Internal Revenue Service’s taxpayer data system, which contains sensitive information on millions of Americans. The initiative is part of DOGE's efforts to streamline government operations and combat waste, fraud, and abuse.
A software engineer, Gavin Kliger, is set to be granted access to the IRS system to work on identifying and rectifying inefficiencies. Kliger will be stationed at the IRS for at least 120 days and will operate under strict confidentiality agreements to protect taxpayer data.
