DOGE discovers millions of instances of social security fraud
Share and Follow

Elon Musk today shared staggering data showing there are millions of dead Americans still eligible for social security payments.

A probe by the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) is currently underway to investigate the misuse of taxpayer funds. This investigation has been expedited following Donald Trump’s commitment to delivering substantial cost savings within the federal government.

Elon Musk recently shared a revealing chart indicating that there are reportedly more than 20 million Americans on record as being older than 100 years. Shockingly, the data includes 3.9 million individuals in the 130-139 age bracket, over 3.5 million aged between 140 and 149, and in the range of 150-159, there are more than 1.3 million. Astonishingly, the records even show a person listed as ‘alive’ who is over 360 years old.

In an intriguing statement, the billionaire CEO of Tesla commented, “Based on the information from the Social Security database, these figures represent the population count within each specified age group where the status of ‘death’ is inaccurately marked as FALSE! It almost appears as though the realm of Twilight might have some truth to it, with a considerable number of ‘vampires’ seemingly benefiting from Social Security benefits.”

The Department of Health and Human Services agency is under fire from Musk for having on its records 60 million people more than the entire U.S. population, which means millions of people who are no longer alive – or possibly never existed – could be receiving monthly checks.

In 2024, 68.5 million people received benefits from SSA through retirement, disability and other payments. 

It’s unclear so far yet how many of these payments were distributed due to fraud or mistakes made by the agency failing to confirm the age and eligibility of beneficiaries – including if they are alive or not.

But DOGE vowed it is now ‘looking into this.’

Musk posted a table showing the tabulated number of existing U.S. citizens accounted for at the SSA on Sunday.

While the ages of Americans aged zero through 99 was on track for the U.S. population, once the ages got to upwards of 100-years-old it got much more unbelievable.

There are, according to Musk’s spreadsheet, more than 4.7 million people aged between 100 and 109. And there is at least one person aged above 360 and another still in the system who is in their 240s.

A shocking 1,039 people are still alive in the SSA database who are between the ages of 220 and 229, Musk’s analysis finds.

‘Yes, there are FAR more ‘eligible’ social security numbers than there are citizens in the USA,’ Musk wrote. ‘This might be the biggest fraud in history.’

A 2023 count shows there are 334.9 million U.S. citizens. But Musk said on X that the ‘number of US citizens eligible for social security is closer to 310M.’

This is impossible considering that would mean approximately 92.5 percent of the U.S. population is eligible to receive retirement, disability or survivor benefits from the federal government.

Musk made clear last week that the Social Security Administration was next on his DOGE hit-list for an audit.

During a press availability held in the Oval Office alongside President Donald Trump on Tuesday, Musk revealed DOGE found people who are ‘probably dead’ and still receiving Social Security checks.

‘Reexamination of Social Security – we’ve got people in there that are 150-years-old,’ Musk lamented during an impromptu press conference as Trump signed an executive order.

‘Now do you know anyone who’s 150?’ the billionaire asked. ‘I don’t know. They should be in the Guinness Book of World Records. They’re missing out.’

‘So, you know, that’s the case where I think they’re probably dead, is my guess, or they should be very famous – one of the two,’ he concluded.

Already, Musk has entirely dismantled USAID and targeted FEMA by having its four top finance officials fired for paying $59 million to luxury hotels in New York City to house illegal migrants.

Additionally, 40,000 federal employees have accepted a buyout Trump offered for them to voluntarily leave their roles in exchange for full pay through September.

He has also cut billions in federal government contracts, including those paid out by the Department of Education and National Institutes of Health to outside companies and corporations.

Much of the cuts have been aimed at ending diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) programs and practices.
