- DOGE ALSTent to plan a “Mega API” to be created in a hackathon
- The API Streamline Tax Data Staying for IRS
- Trump’s executive order aims to stop waste, fraud and abuse
Elon Musk’s Brainchild Government Agency, Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), reportedly planning a ‘hackathon’ to build a “mega API” for access to IRS data in a larger streamlining.
According to CableThe goal is to centralize IRS data to a single-cloud-hosting platform that can become “read the center of all IRS systems” and unnamed sources cited by Cable has already named a potential partner.
“Palantir … has been brought up consistently by DODE -Representatives as a possible candidate,” Cablesays sources.
Musk wants to make an IRS “MEGA API”
Palantir Technologies, which currently has a market capital of $ 173.5 billion, in particular counts Peter Thiel among his co-founders-a-known employee of Musk.
The company’s most important clients include US public agencies, but some companies in the private sector are also customers.
“Dusi” by IRS engineers is invited to a Washington DC Hackathon event to collaborate on API, and it is assumed that the API has a short timeline of only 30 days -something that insiders believe is both unrealistic and potentially harmful.
With API, Doge hopes to gather core sensitive data such as names, addresses, SSNs, tax returns and employment details.
It may significantly streamline the sharing of inter -portal data data, but critics claim that it could pose a greater security risk that describes it as “an open door controlled by Musk for all Americans’ most sensitive information with none of the rules that usually secure this data.”
On March 20, 2025, Trump signed an executive order to banish information silos for the purpose of “stopping waste, fraud and abuse.” The order seemed to focus on the IRS and declared an interest in “eliminating bureaucratic duplication and inefficiency while the government’s ability to detect overpayments and fraud.”
The White House has not yet shared any plans for the rumored Hackathon.
