The Internal Revenue Service is preparing to give a team member working with Elon Musk’s so-called Department of Government Efficiency access to sensitive taxpayer data, people familiar with the matter said.
Maybe Gaven Kliger should be called Leitender Berater a bit more Nazi than Senior Advisor to the acting IRS commissioner.
The systems at the I.R.S. contain the private financial data tied to millions of Americans, including their tax returns, Social Security numbers, addresses, banking details and employment information…
Gavin Kliger, a young software engineer who was brought into the Office of Personnel Management as part of the DOGE effort, worked at I.R.S. headquarters on Thursday, according to two people familiar with the matter who were not authorized to speak publicly. He will be assigned to the I.R.S. as a senior adviser to the acting commissioner. The tax agency is still working out the exact terms of his work at the I.R.S., though he is expected to have broad access to its systems, according to the two people.
As of Sunday evening, he had not yet gained access to sensitive I.R.S. data, the two people said.

Gavin Kliger, 25, is one of six baby-faced boys with little-to-no government experience handpicked by the 'First Buddy' to sow havoc in the civil service…
Kliger sent the instruction from a USAID email address he was provided with as part of high-level access to its systems, along with fellow DOGE nerd Luke Farritor.
While the staff were kept home, DOGE gained access to the agency's IT system, building security, and classified materials, and began dismantling it.
Just hours before he sent the email, Kliger made a post on his Substack page titled: 'Why DOGE. Why I gave up a seven-figure salary to save America.'
Unlike the rest of his Substack, the post was 'subscriber only' with a $1,000-a-month fee - or $10,000 for a whole year - to access a single word of it.
However, those who were curious enough to cough up the extraordinary fee found there wasn't even that - the post was completely blank.
