How worried should people be about Musk and the Department of Government Efficiency having access to their personal tax information?

People should be significantly concerned as tax returns contain extremely sensitive personal data including income details, property tax information, children's information, and business data. This is why there are already intense security protocols for tax filing. While the White House has stated that Musk's team wouldn't get access to taxpayer IDs or Social Security numbers, concerns remain about other personal information that might be accessible. The situation raises serious privacy issues about what data Musk and his associates might access and how they might use it, especially given that tax documents contain some of the most comprehensive personal financial information that exists.
