Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) is organizing a hackathon to develop a 'mega API' for accessing Internal Revenue Service data, with aspirations to migrate this data to a cloud platform. This ambitious initiative, led by young operatives Gavin Kliger and CEO Sam Corcos, is expected to produce results in 30 days. However, this timeline has raised skepticism from IRS employees and legislators alike, who cite the complexity of IRS data management and the inexperience of DOGE's team as significant barriers to success. Legislators have also expressed concerns regarding the implications of unrestricted IRS data access.
