Trump ousts IRS chief just days after appointing him amid feud between Elon Musk and Trump official

President Donald Trump has replaced the acting IRS commissioner Gary Shapley just days after he appointed him amid the ongoing feud between US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and his tech billionaire ally Elon Musk. "Trust must be brought back to the IRS, and I am fully confident that Deputy Secretary Michael Faulkender is the right man for the moment," Bessent said.
