Tech mogul Elon Musk, who chairs President Donald Trump's Department of Government Efficiency, is thinking about auditing the Internal Revenue Service.
In a post on X, which Musk owns, he asked users if they would like DOGE to audit the IRS.
The options are:
As of Tuesday afternoon, Yes was leading, followed by F Yes. "No" is only polling at 5%.
Musk on Monday announced he had "deleted" 18F, a government agency that worked on technology projects such as the IRS' Direct File program. Direct File remains available to the public and is still accepting tax returns. The website for 18F was still operational, as was the Direct File website. But the digital services agency's X account was deleted.
Musk was responding to a post by an X user who called 18F "far left" and mused that Direct File "puts the government in charge" of preparing people's taxes.
"That group has been deleted," Musk wrote.
Sen. Joni Ernst, R-Iowa, had previously proposed the Audit the IRS Act.
The bill "will audit the auditors and fire the more than 800 IRS agents who owe millions of dollars in back taxes," Ernst said.
