Internet reports that the AXIOS website quoted five people familiar with the matter as saying that the acting director of the IRS is about to be replaced. Treasury Secretary Bessant complained to President Trump that the agency's latest leader was appointed at Musk's behest without his knowledge. Besent believes Musk bypassed him and made Gary Shapley the interim director of the IRS, which is under the Treasury Department. People familiar with the matter said Musk's Department of Government Efficiency pushed for the appointment through White House channels, but did not seek Besent's advice or consent.
