Musk says he 'deleted' IRS easy filing team that let Americans file taxes for free online - eviltoast

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.

    Is this summary AI generated, it’s garbage and seems to contradict the linked article, which is about the same length. The way it’s phrased makes it sound like the free tax filing is still offered, only with customer support now, and no online component. The article makes no mention of this.
