IRS Acting Commissioner Ousted Amid Power Struggle Involving Elon Musk
In a surprising turn of events, the acting commissioner of the IRS has been ousted just days after his appointment, amid a reported power struggle involving Elon Musk and Treasury Chief Scott Bessent. The newly appointed commissioner, Gary Shapley, a whistleblower known for investigating Hunter Biden, was replaced after only three days in office. This incident is part of an ongoing turbulent phase within the IRS, which has seen multiple leadership changes in a short span. The conflict between Bessent and Musk has fueled the drama, leading to growing concerns over the stability and leadership of the agency.
