The IRS is reportedly reviewing a request to grant access to sensitive taxpayer data for a member of the government efficiency team led by Elon Musk. Gavin Kliger, a software engineer and young programmer, is set to advise the IRS commissioner with a focus on IT modernization. White House spokesperson Harrison Fields emphasized the necessity for such access to combat waste, fraud, and abuse in the federal system. This initiative reflects a larger effort to scrutinize government spending and enhance efficiency, despite previous pushbacks against data access requests from similar programs.
'Waste, fraud and abuse have been deeply entrenched in our broken system for far too long,' said Harrison Fields, a White House spokesperson. 'It takes direct access to the system to identify and fix it.'
The request to the agency said Kliger's primary focus at the IRS is to provide engineering assistance and IT modernization consulting.
Musk's controversial program will continue to shine a light on the fraud they uncover as the American people deserve to know what their government has been spending their hard-earned tax dollars on.
The request, which is reportedly under review, would give Doge officials broad access to tax-agency systems, property and datasets, including tax returns.
