How does Elon knowing I paid more taxes than Tesla did last year help cull government inefficiency?

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!"

Hmm this guy paid a lot of yaxes. Why doesn't he pay more?
Its inefficiently emptying your wallet then!
He'll be absolutely amazed when he finds out the biggest tax cheats are people like him and large corporations. But probably draw the wrong conclusion and assume the IRS doesn't know how to do taxes.
I don’t think he cares to find out who is cheating.
Unless it's so they can pay him to make sure those records go 'missing'.
Looking for people to squeeze.
Squeeze the people who don't cheat. What are they gonna do about it?
so when does a judge charge this guy with negligent homicide, the enforcement arm ignore it, and someone impersonate our favorite green Nintendo plumber?
I'm also interested in all the millionaires and billionaires tax returns. Can I have them?
If he has crack team of little racists working this, more than likely you'll be able to get it. I mean they've already leaked classified data.
It would be hilarious if this is how Trump's tax returns got leaked
It's ridiculous how impotent politics are, that people like this can get voted in to begin with and then we can't just get them out again.
Expats should expect a "nice" surprise soon enough, courtesy of the candidate they were bubbled into voting. Did you work your entire life in the US to think you could retire somewhere else? Oh you spring child. Hell, fuck that, did you think you could be merely born to an American parent and live out your entire life in some other country as a native citizen? Oh you spring accidental American child.
Will I get my return this year?
Do your taxes NOW. The way this admin is going, there won't be refunds, or at least no staff to process them.
Imagine that leak.
You spelt 'ransack' wrong.
It's leaking right now..
