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 was in response to a right-wing MAGA influencer who called the “direct file” tax program a “far-left government-wide computer office” built by Elizabeth Warren.

Thus far, the website remains active.

    I think we might finally have a common demand that we can all agree on. Deport illegal immigrant Elon Musk and confiscate his ill gotten wealth. General strike time?

      Deporting seems a bit too nice. I was thinking moreso jailtime for about a couple hundred lifetimes

        There is going to be benefit any time workers take their power back. The signal it would send would echo in every job/salary negotiation for years.

          Okay but all the capital and business stays in the same hands even if people stop working for a few days.

          What power do we gain? Who exactly are we trying to hurt with this?

          A general strike is not a wage negotiation tactic, its asking everyone everywhere to strike. Theres no general union to present our demands. There is no company policy it opposes.
