Who Owns the IRS Now?
Elon Musk tried to install his own guy—IRS whistleblower Gary Shapley—as head of the IRS. No hearings. No Treasury input. Just a billionaire with a wishlist and a president who takes orders.
Why?
Because if you control the IRS, you control the game:
Who gets audited?
Who gets a pass?
What gets leaked?
Which enemies get buried?
Scott Bessent, Trump’s Treasury guy, blew up the scheme. Stormed the Oval Office. Picked a fight. And won—for now.
So ask yourself:
Why is Elon Musk handpicking tax cops?
Why did Trump back down?
Who’s really running our government?
This isn’t policy. This is pay-to-play—fought in broad daylight, with our tax system as the trophy.
And if they’re fighting this hard to run the IRS… what are they trying to hide?
The audit isn’t coming for them. It’s aimed at us.
