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.

Reminder Elon cannot code
I'm not sure he can do anything well.
That's often the case with
CEOsdespots. They're more showmen/cheerleaders that people want to undress with their stonks. Otherwise, just talentless hacks that get paid too much money.Except Nazi salutes. That arm thrust was chock full of intent and came straight from the heart!
came straight from the heart
Bullshit. You're telling me he has a heart?
Well not anymore, of course, as it went out to all his fellow Nazis
It was the most awkward and embarrassing Nazi salute in the history of Nazi salutes. He didn't even do that well.
The irony of course being that actual Nazis wouldn't have liked him because he was South African. Him being white would probably be the minor mitigating factor but had they won their war he wouldn't have had a nice time.
