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 was in response to a right-wing MAGA influencer who called the “direct file” tax program a “far-left government-wide computer office” built by Elizabeth Warren.

Thus far, the website remains active.

    In theory, no. In practice, yes, since a lot of people go to places like H&R or buy tax software to do it.

    This online version, as I understand it, was a great way for people that had relatively simple taxes to do it without too much hassle.

    But assholes like fElon cannot STAND the threat of a good example of government and something that benefits people they deem unworthy. That’s why these dickheads went after the consumer protection bureau, too.
