Elon Musk recently shared a graphic on X to point out how complicated the U.S. tax laws have become, showing that what used to be a book of less than 1.5 million words in 1955 has now grown into a massive document over 10 million words long by 2015. He called out for a big change, saying it’s time to make these laws easier for everyone to understand and follow. This isn’t just about numbers; it’s about making life simpler for people trying to figure out their taxes.
Wow, this needs to be greatly simplified @DOGE! https://t.co/RL6JEAxXjq

In another tweet, he shared a data that said that as of 2010, there were about 70,000 pages of Tax regulations!

His post has gotten a lot of people talking about how the government could work better for regular folks. Musk and his team at the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) are pushing for these changes, aiming to cut through the red tape that makes dealing with the government a headache for many. They want to make it so that when you deal with taxes, you’re not lost in a sea of legal jargon, but rather, navigating a system that’s straightforward and fair.
