Elon Musk and his Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) have ignited another controversy by requesting unprecedented access to the IRS' most sensitive data systems. This data includes Social Security numbers, bank account information, and more for millions of U.S. taxpayers.

Some privacy experts and government officials warn that granting Musk's team access to this private taxpayer data poses significant risks and raises serious concerns.

The push to allow DOGE and Musk access to confidential taxpayer data, first reported by the Washington Post, coincides with the IRS potentially facing the layoffs of thousands of employees as early as this week.

Additionally, the federal tax agency is without a Senate-confirmed Commissioner and is grappling with reduced funding. These challenges have ignited debate and concern about everything from privacy and government overreach to the IRS' ability to operate effectively during tax season.

What does all this mean for you and your tax information? Read on.

US currency will be revised to read "In Elon We Trust."
