The acting commissioner of the IRS was fired Friday after Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent reportedly complained to President Donald Trump that DOGE cost-cutter in chief Elon Musk did not ask for approval to name Gary Shapley as the agency’s leader.

Gary Shapley — who became famous after speaking out about alleged political influence in the Hunter Biden tax probe — is out as IRS director after just two days, following an internal struggle involving Elon Musk.

Just days after being promoted to acting IRS commissioner, the whistleblower who testified publicly about investigations into Hunter Biden’s taxes is out of the job, according to three people familiar with the decision.
