Musk isn't doing an audit, he's taking a flamethrower to it with the express intention of kneecapping it's entire ability to go after himself and his rich tax fraud cronies.
Powerful? It's bullshit. The people who actually have to work about the IRS are the billionaires who fudge their taxes. Not a surprise that Musk wants to dismantle it.
While completely incorrect, it's important to remember that the IRS intentionally audits people like you and me and not Musk and Trump, because "it's too hard"...

And it is "too hard" because they don't have the fund to do it. Which is because budget cuts...

Yeah, I think people forget that over half of the US pays no income tax because they literally don't make enough. https://money.howstuffworks.com/only-53-percent-pay-income-tax.htm
Funding/empowering the IRS is really only going to impact people higher up the chain, which is why Republicans largely want to shrink the IRS.

"Comically Incorrect"
Is this satire? Or is the website legitimately ironic?
Edit: I'm not sure... I want it to be self aware, but I don't think it is?

Yeah people are going to love it when their tax refunds take 4 months to hit their bank account instead of 10 days.
