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.

    So given that his little team of unqualified racist have already proven to leak classified data and can’t secure a server with even basic security that someone on the homeserver community would do, it would be funny if this is how Trump’s tax returns would come out to light.
