Nov 27, 2024, 06:06 PM

Elon Musk has announced that the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) will undergo an audit conducted by the newly established Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). The department, led by Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy, is part of President Donald Trump’s administration and aims to streamline government operations and reduce inefficiencies. The audit is expected to increase transparency in the IRS's practices. Additionally, DOGE is reportedly targeting other federal agencies, including the Department of Defense and the Department of Education, for budget overhauls, with plans for significant reductions and potential elimination of some agencies. The IRS audit follows its expansion under the Biden administration.
