Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) aims to access the IRS's sensitive taxpayer data to combat government inefficiencies. Gavin Kliger, a software engineer joining DOGE, will work at the IRS for at least 120 days to assist in identifying waste and fraud in the system. The IRS is contemplating a memorandum allowing DOGE extensive access to their data retrieval systems. This initiative aligns with the administration's goal of enhancing transparency regarding government spending and managing taxpayer information securely during this process.
"Waste, fraud, and abuse have been deeply entrenched in our broken system for far too long. It takes direct access to the system to identify and fix it."
"Kliger will serve as a senior adviser to the acting IRS commissioner, though the nature of his work at the agency is still unclear."
