President-elect Donald Trump is set to appoint billionaire Elon Musk and former Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy to oversee a Department of Government Efficiency .

Musk claimed in a post on X (formerly Twitter) that doing so would “increase productivity” instead of “incentivizing bizarre tax-avoidance behavior” The average American could benefit greatly from a proposed simplified tax code as it allows for a more straightforward filing process.

“The changes can take several years to implement because the process involves drafting new legislation, passing it through Congress , and allowing sufficient time for the IRS and the taxpayers to adjust to the new system.” All in all, the total implementation could easily be a multiyear process.
