    WASHINGTON, D.C.     Proponents of eliminating the federal income tax rejoiced today as Elon Musk cleverly disguised the Internal Revenue Service headquarters as a Tesla dealership so Democrats would burn it down.

    The billionaire inventor and entrepreneur hatched the genius plan to cover the main IRS building with Tesla emblems and signage, which goaded angry Democrats to launch a large-scale firebomb attack against the building.

    "This'll show Musk who's boss! Burn it to the ground!" one enraged leftist reportedly shouted before throwing a Molotov cocktail through a window of the IRS building. "This looks different from any other Tesla dealership I've ever seen. It's almost like a really old government building. Oh well. It's all got to go. Everything he owns must be destroyed."

    When reached for comment, Musk was quietly pleased that his plan had worked. "It was quite a simple idea, really," he said. "If Democrats are trying to burn down anything belonging to me, why not redirect that anger in a useful way to burn down something that should be demolished? For the cost of a few Tesla signs, we've now freed the American people from the terrible burden of excessive taxation. Ironically, once the rubble of the IRS building is cleared, we will, in fact, build an enormous new Tesla dealership in its place."

    At publishing time, reports had circulated that the U.S. Capitol would be next to be disguised as a Tesla dealership in a plot to round up and imprison Democrats for attempting a violent insurrection.
