He is pretty transparent, just not in a good way.

Last time I tried Simplex, the desktop app was incompatible with the mobile app. Do you know whether this has been fixed?

Americans only enjoy the truth if you disguise it as fiction. So many movies about people coming together to solve problems for the sake of the greater good. So little of this in life.

Maybe we could advertise for extras in an epic movie about Americans revolting against fascism, and then stand by with cameras shouting "action!" while the people get the job done.

Just one per fascist neck.

Oh look, the world's richest man being even more direct than most billionaires about taking what little the poor have away from them. There is only one of him and there are lots and lots of poor people. Maybe it's time to remind him of this fact.

So is Elon Musk now working to put an end to electric cars? What's his angle here?

Yay! Republicans continue to make America great again by reducing its international influence and taking jobs away from Americans!

Also, the US government will do everything it can to obstruct research into vaccines or the distribution of vaccines, and they will oppose all other health measures to combat this disease too. I hope sane governments elswehere are on this.

Your denial of health facts, in a thread about a government hiding health facts, got you off to a bad start with people.

CBS tied itself in knots trying not to call Elon Musk's Nazi salute a Nazi salute. CBS's management is clearly terrified of offending Trump and his people and desperate to appease them.

You could consider pointing out that the leopard promised not to eat your face, and is therefore being at best inconsistent and at worst downright dishonest by eating your face as you speak.

We can use their lawless actions rhetorically to erode their political capital and empower the resistance movement.

Possibly, but it's important to make sure you also actually build a resistance movement, or this just amounts to speaking concerned words.

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 came in response to a right-wing influencer criticizing the program as government overreach.

However, the Treasury Department confirms that the Direct File system remains active, offering free tax filing with customer support.

The program, available in English and Spanish, is optional, allowing taxpayers to choose between using it or filing their taxes manually.
