Elon Musk is calling for a complete overhaul of the U.S. tax system, criticizing its complexity and burden on taxpayers.
In posts on X, he argued that tax regulations are “torturing” Americans and need drastic simplification. Musk also leads the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), an initiative aimed at reducing wasteful federal spending, which claims to have cut $1 billion daily.
With a goal to reduce spending by $4 billion daily, DOGE seeks to curb inflation and promote fiscal responsibility. Musk has expressed concerns about rising government debt and its long-term impact on the U.S. economy.
