Elon Musk's Doge May Create a Free Tax Filing App

Though, frankly, if all of your income is W2 and you haven't fucked up your W4, you shouldn't have to file at all. If you're a W2 wageslave, the government knows how much you get paid, how much you pay in taxes, and whether you owe extra or have a refund due. Having to file a tax return in situations like that is just bureaucratic bullshit.

He is the master of taking ideas that have been around for decades taking all the credit for them and doing nothing about them
