"Why on earth would they fire IRS employees in the middle of tax season?" Because the whole thing is about making the rich richer.
For every $1 the IRS spends auditing the top 1%, it can collect $13.
For every $1 the IRS spends auditing the top 0.1%, it can collect $26.
Laying off 7,000 IRS employees (during tax season) isn't about efficiency.
It's about making it easier for the rich to evade taxes.

Approximately 20 members of Elon Musk’s staff have begun working within the Education Department. They have gained access to multiple sensitive internal systems, including a financial aid dataset containing the personal information of millions of students enrolled in the federal student aid program.

I feel very slightly bad, for a few seconds, for this 19 year old, but he's old enough to know some basic right from wrong and by choosing to do this he is at the gate of extreme FAFO should things not go perfectly in their plot. And lol at Elon protecting him if it becomes costly to Elon.
Yes totally cool that a 19-year-old who called his deleted LinkedIn "Big Balls," where he lists his experience working as a camp counselor can access the entire US federal payment system without anyone looking into his background, for instance, his Russian national close relatives or anything else
