Original Note:
Elon Musk did not drop an "IRS bombshell". The Biden administration did not hire 87,000 IRS agents. The number 87,000 refers to estimated future cumulative hires needed over 10 years, including positions across various departments, not currently active new agents. https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2022/aug/11/kevin-mccarthy/kevin-mccarthys-mostly-false-claim-about-army-8700/ https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/factcheck/2022/10/24/fact-check-false-claims-irs-enforcement-taxes-americans/7872060001/ https://x.com/VigilantFox/status/1850004757731065892
