- According to reports, Doge plans that a “mega api” is created in a hackathon
- The API will optimize the exchange of fiscal data for the IRS
- Trump’s executive order aims to stop waste, fraud and abuse.
According to the reports, the creation of the Government Agency of Elon Musk, the Government Efficiency Department (Doge), is planning a “Hackaton” to build a “Mega API” to access IRS data in an important rationalization movement.
According CablingThe objective is to centralize the IRS data on a single -cloud accommodation platform that could become the “IRS Systems Reading Center”, and unidentified sources cited by Cabling I have already appointed a potential partner.
“Palantir … has been consistently raised by Doge representatives as a possible candidate.” CablingThe sources say.
Musk wants to make a “mega api” of the IRS
Palantir Technologies, which currently has a market capitalization of $ 173.5 billion, counts in particular Peter Thiel among his co -founders, a well -known musk associate.
The main clients of the firm include government agencies in the United States, but some private sector companies are also customers.
The “dozen” of IRS engineers are being invited to a Hackathon DC event in Washington to collaborate in the API, and it is believed that the API has a short timeline of only 30 days, something that experts believe that it is unrealistic and potentially harmful.
With the API, Dege hopes to collect central confidential data such as names, addresses, SSNS, tax statements and employment details.
It could considerably optimize the exchange of interdepartmental data, however, critics argue that it could present an important security risk, describing it as “an open door controlled by Musk for the most confidential information of all Americans without any of the rules that normally ensure that data.”
On March 20, 2025, Trump signed an executive order to banish information silos, with the objective of “stopping waste, fraud and abuse.” The order seemed to focus on the IRS, declaring an interest in “eliminating bureaucratic duplication and inefficiency while improving the government’s ability to detect excess payments and fraud.”
The White House has not yet shared any plan for the rumored Hackathon.
