He got rid of 18F, the entity that built the direct file software. He hasn’t gotten rid of the software itself.

How "efficient". Does that mean that Direct File will not exist next year, as no one will be around to update it with any and all tax changes then?

I have no idea. I’m not defending him, either, to be clear.

No, I didn't mean you were, and I appreciate your clarification. Musk is supposed to be a software guy - he fired a lot of the programmers at Twitter and now it doesn't work very well anymore. Now he's dong that to the USG? That's bad. It's not efficient or a good idea.

I predict this will end up costing us $$$$$ in the end because of lawsuits, technology, hiring, infrastructure, etc.

Way to go jack@sses!

People are going to learn about following evil and embracing racist, sexist and misogynist ideologies. I want to sit back and watch all the suffering because this country has earned a good beating. I have dual-citizenship and will retreat to my family’s native country if things get a bit hairy for me. Good luck with Agent Orange.

This is terrifying for the entire world. I'm not American, and I definitely don't feel like this isn't my problem.

It does seem like an antitrust violation.

There are a lot of quiet wealthy white men out there. Except for the WSJ editorial board. They’re having a hissy.

These are the boys Musk gave all the keys to the government to. According to Reddit.

Those boys don't look older than 20. Imagine having one of them come to your workplace to take over the servers. If only they had had some dates earlier in life, perhaps they wouldn't have gone down this dark path.

Is this officially a coup yet? This is insane and completely unprecedented in our country’s history. Republicans in Congress don’t have the spines to do what they need to do which is impeach Trump.

Direct File's not the first time, nor will it be the last, that IRS wastes IT money on a political football everyone at IRS knows will be dead when party control flips.

Meanwhile, the systems that run the Service are in Assembler and COBOL.

Of course they are. I worked on the Y2K problem in COBOL. Mainframes can handle huge amounts of data.

COBOL? IRS would have thought they'd died and gone to heaven.

serious question: why not? Why *aren't* the Dems in Congress unifying to take action, of any kind?

They were at the protest and they tried to go into USAID to talk to people there but were denied access. Musk and the boys have taken over federal law enforcement. Republicans are in charge of Congress and have the only power available, which is to impeach Trump. You don’t seem to understand that these 20 year olds are untouchable. They along with Musk have been given complete control over everything.

DP but isn’t this an across the aisle type of issue? I’m from MD and I know if Larry Hogan had been elected, he would be right out in front of this.

I’m not following. Someone asked where are the Democrats. The Democrats have been doing what they can which isn’t much.

Republicans aren’t acting or saying or doing anything.
