Summary
Elon Musk claimed on X that he eliminated the IRS team responsible for the "Direct File" program, which allows Americans to file taxes online for free.
His statement came in response to a right-wing influencer criticizing the program as government overreach.
However, the Treasury Department confirms that the Direct File system remains active, offering free tax filing with customer support.
The program, available in English and Spanish, is optional, allowing taxpayers to choose between using it or filing their taxes manually.
You're viewing a single thread.
Man who pays someone else to do his taxes makes it harder for people who do their own taxes because he doesn't seem to understand how annoying and frustratingly difficult it is to file in USA
He understands. His cronies make big bank from paid services.
He thinks people with less money than him are inferior people, morally, intellectually and socially. If there's anything he's unaware of it's what a pathetic little man he is, and how billions of dollars can't fix that. But deep down I suspect he knows it.
Stop thinking that these people are stupid and don't understand what they're doing. They know exactly what they are doing.
