Elon Musk's DOGE requests access to sensitive US tax system, sparks privacy concerns

Hindustan Times  

Billionaire Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency has raised alarms after requesting access to the US tax office's system, which contains sensitive financial data about millions of Americans, according to reports from US media outlets. Elon Musk speaks next to US President Donald Trump in the Oval Office of the White House in Washington, DC Led by Elon Musk, who leads firms like Tesla and SpaceX and is the world’s wealthiest person currently, DOGE’s request aligns with efforts by President Donald Trump’s administration to reduce public spending it deems wasteful or misaligned with its policies. The move has triggered concern within the government and among privacy experts, who warn that granting Elon Musk access to such private taxpayer information could be dangerously risky, as reported by ABC News. "People who share their most sensitive information with the federal government do so under the understanding that not only will it be used legally, but also handled securely and in ways that minimize risks like identity theft and personal invasion, which this reporting brings into serious question," ABC News quoted as saying Elizabeth Laird, a former state privacy officer now with the Center for Democracy and Technology.
