SCOOP: For the last 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.

wired.comPalantir Is Helping DOGE With a Massive IRS Data ProjectFor the last 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.

DOGE has expressed an interest in the API project possibly touching all IRS data, which includes taxpayer names, addresses, social security numbers, tax returns, and employment data. The IRS API layer could also allow someone to compare IRS data against interoperable datasets from other agencies.

Engineers tasked with finishing the API project are confident they can complete it in 30 days, a source with direct knowledge tells WIRED.

Should this project move forward to completion, DOGE wants Palantir’s Foundry software to become the “read center of all IRS systems,” a source with direct knowledge tells WIRED. Here's what that means:

DOGE is already listing living people as dead. They have stolen all the data just to abuse it. And letting Palantir in will just make things worse. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

What’s the worst that can happen? I mean, it’s not like the literary inspiration for Palantir’s name was controlled by the Dark Lord Sauron.

OMG. Peter Thiel’s software. What a horrible idea.

Palantir, X, Starlink, xAI; the US government (payments, communication, surveillance) will run, and be run, through them. It is wholesale tech-oligarch grift.

Starmer and Streeting need to kick out Palantir. But they won't, will they?

DOGE is bad Musky joke. The Doge of Venice was the head of the Republic of Venice, a powerful maritime republic that existed from the 7th century to 1797. The Doge held office for life and served as the ceremonial head of state, representing the Republic in both domestic and international affairs.

Complete capture of essential government functions by the oligarchy.

The software changes needed would make auditing billionaire tax cheats easier. Not a priority for Musk, Trump, or Thiel, somehow.

@reparsons.bsky.social

So Peter Thiel's Palantir. The same Peter Thiel who wants to replace Democracy with a Dictatorship. "This new system is elitist—“humans fit into dominance-submission structures” Yarvin wrote in 2008; and it’s authoritarian" time.com/7269166/dark...

time.comWhat We Must Understand About the Dark Enlightenment MovementThe “Dark Enlightenment” movement and Curtis Yarvin have curried favor with tech executives in recent years, writes Ed Simon.

@unewme.bsky.social

Yep. One and the same.

@fedthx1138.bsky.social

LOL. So, they claim to be focused on stopping fraud, and they are actively setting the system up so that Palantir is an essential product. DOGE is just a criminal empire to help their wealthy friends get richer.

@moongirlsusie.bsky.social

The grift is at the center of everything Trump is doing.

@unewme.bsky.social

The funniest/saddest part is trump is so damn clueless, he is obeying everything the tech bros tell him in the IT world, and Steve Miller, Homan, and Noem in ridding us of immigrants. They explain in the simplest terms and he agrees and reads the EO.

After decades working with and following tech, one thing is clear: it fucking sucks. The next clearest thing is that it sucks even harder when arrogant jackasses make “confident”claims like “we will have this massive project, that we just started, completed in 30 days.”

@jakwash.bsky.social

So the man who installed the VP is getting our IRS data…

How long before a central system like China’s where if the regime doesn’t like you, you suddenly have no access to your bank account.

They want to build a tracking AI like US companies helped build for Israel to track everyone in Gaza in realtime. Same companies. Same network of genocidal politicians, tech, AI, weapons billionaires. www.972mag.com/lavender-ai-...

Amazon, Google, Microsoft, I believe Palantir also involved in genocide AI. We, our lives, are their cash cow for business profit: tracking, controlling, imprisoning, hunting us for profit. It is a game for them, we are game to them. www.972mag.com/cloud-israel...

Musk's friend and co-owner of X Larry Ellison said they want to track us 24/7, have all our govt info, dna in one AI system so we "behave," like we are their products to control. Quadrocopters. Gaza & Uyghur level surveillance of everyone in US. www.theregister.com/2025/02/12/l...

In Gaza they use govt data, social media, phone; likely Amazon, Google, Microsoft hand over their info too. It's a good idea to #DisengageAndDivest from these companies, delete Amazon Alexa, router, doorbell cam, account; use Librewolf not Chrome, Linux not Microsoft, delete most social media...
