For the past three days, DOGE and a handful of Palantir representatives, along with dozens of career IRS engineers, have been collaborating to build a “mega API,” WIRED has learned.

Palantir, the software company cofounded by Peter Thiel, is part of an effort by Elon Musk’s so-called Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) to build a new “mega API” for accessing Internal Revenue Service records, IRS sources tell WIRED.

    I’ve never felt better about denying that Palantir internship in 2010. Chances are I would have become a fully embedded psychopath by this point.

    One change they suggested was to limit the audits performed each year to one. A single person whose name was drawn at random gets an intensive Mega-Audit™

    Lobby to get rid of government bureaucracy like Theil so you can have your delivery boy get you the info so you can sell it. Ideal.
