Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) is set to host a hackathon aimed at developing a 'mega API' for accessing IRS taxpayer data. Organizers Gavin Kliger and Sam Corcos, a healthtech startup CEO, envision a unified API to streamline data retrieval for cloud providers. The API would potentially expose sensitive information such as names, addresses, and tax returns, raising privacy concerns among IRS employees. A third-party vendor may manage the project, with Palantir being a frequently mentioned candidate. This initiative could redefine data accessibility but also poses significant risks.
