Elon Musk’s DOGE seeks access to US taxpayers’ data, sparking privacy fears

Al Jazeera  

Democratic lawmakers express concern that Tesla CEO is seeking to weaponise the tax system against his rivals. Elon Musk’s task force for streamlining the United States government is seeking access to troves of taxpayer information, media outlets have reported, prompting fears of privacy violations and retribution against political rivals. In the latest phase of his sweeping cost-cutting drive, Musk and his so-called Department of Government Efficiency are pushing to access the Internal Revenue Service’s protected Integrated Data Retrieval System, outlets including The Associated Press, CNN, The New York Times and the Washington Post reported on Monday. The IDRS gives IRS employees access to sensitive taxpayer data belonging to millions of Americans, such as Social Security numbers, home addresses, property records and salary information. “The IRS must immediately disclose to the Senate Committee on Finance the full extent of the potential access to IRS systems and data granted to DOGE team members so that the Committee can address any efforts by DOGE personnel to gain access to taxpayer records at the IRS, which may constitute criminal violations of federal privacy laws,” Wyden and Warren wrote.
