Elon Musk has again exposed a massive issue in government inefficiency – this time, a potential fraud of staggering proportions within the Social Security system. In a post on X, Musk revealed that millions of people in the Social Security database are recorded as centenarians, with some listed as being between 100 and 159 years old and the “death field set to FALSE!”
Highlighting the absurdity, Musk joked, “Maybe Twilight is real, and there are a lot of vampires collecting Social Security,” accompanied by laughing emojis. His post included a chart showing over 20 million individuals recorded as 100+, with shocking figures in the 130-159 age ranges. Even more alarming, Musk noted that one entry listed a person as between 360 and 369 years old – blatant proof of system failures.
Musk didn’t stop there. He warned that the Social Security system’s logic is “INSANE,” with no single person truly understanding how it works. He exposed significant inconsistencies between Social Security and Treasury payment files that remain unreconciled.
Calling it “the biggest fraud in history,” Musk’s revelations underscore why President Trump has tapped him to lead the Department of Government Efficiency, aiming to root out fraud, waste, and corruption in the federal system.
