President Donald Trump has removed acting IRS Commissioner Gary Shapley, who was reportedly installed with support from Elon Musk, following complaints from Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent. Bessent objected to Shapley's appointment, claiming it was made without his approval and at Musk's direction. This marks the fourth IRS commissioner change in just three months, highlighting ongoing instability within the agency. The next acting commissioner is expected to be Michael Faulkender, the current deputy secretary of the Treasury. The shakeup underscores tensions between the Treasury Department, the Trump administration, and influential business figures.
