It is very interesting. But, what are the majority of Credentialed Media outlets running with?
Social Security head resigns over DOGE data push
The Social Security Administration’s top official resigned over the weekend in the latest clash over the Department of Government Efficiency’s (DOGE) access to sensitive government records, the Washington Post reports.
Why it matters: The agency is quickly becoming a target of Elon Musk, who has claimed without conclusive evidence that there’s rampant fraud from improper payments to dead people.
No evidence, eh?
Elon Musk says millions in Social Security database are between ages of 100 and 159
Elon Musk indicated in a post on X that millions of people listed in a Social Security database are recorded as centenarians “with the death field set to FALSE!”
“According to the Social Security database, these are the numbers of people in each age bucket with the death field set to FALSE! Maybe Twilight is real and there are a lot of vampires collecting Social Security,” Musk posted, adding a couple of rolling on the floor laughing emojis.
His post features a chart indicating there are more than 20 million listed with ages 100 and higher, including more than 3.9 million in the 130-139 age range, more than 3.5 million in the 140-149 range and more than 1.3 million in the 150-159 range.

The rest is
One would think that the head of Social Security would want to root out the improper payments to people who are dead (or do not exist). Does she actually want this fraud on her watch? It may not be her fault, but, wouldn’t it be great if she was involved in stream-lining the agency so it works best for Americans on Social Security? If all those payments were stopped wouldn’t that mean more available money? Same with the other agency heads who are freaking out.
“The logic flow diagram for the Social Security system looks INSANE. No one person actually knows how it works. The payment files that move between Social Security and Treasury have significant inconsistencies that are not reconciled. It’s wild,” Musk declared in a post on X.
Should that not be concerning? How about that the Treasury Department often leaving their symbol blank so there is no accounting for money?
The Treasury Access Symbol (TAS) is an identification code linking a Treasury payment to a budget line item (standard financial process).
In the Federal Government, the TAS field was optional for ~$4.7 Trillion in payments and was often left blank, making traceability almost…

It’s now required for every line to be coded.
Those ages that are over 150 must be some sort of code to funnel SS funds into special projects. Maybe CIA operators living in various places around the world who need s credible source of income. My rational mind rejects the idea that there were actually people employed at the SSA who typed in an age of over 200 and never questioned it.
“…without conclusive evidence…” The mantra used to be, “without evidence.” Pretty soon it will be, “with solid evidence, but we don’t care.”
Almost 400 MILLION people collecting SS. That is more than 80 million more that the total number of Americans alive today. If I were a data analyst in SSA, and saw that, I would think that I must have typed by SQL query wrong and got an answer that is totally wonky.
The MSM is doing all they can to make sure President Trump fails, even if it means our entire economy fails so they can say our economy failed on President Trump’s watch.
So the top official resigns and that’s the end? Why isn’t Congress pulling these people in and asking tough questions? I hope DOGE is talking to people in these agencies who know what is really going on- giving out a number to call or meet after hours and point them in the right direction.
Hmmm… All those sesquicentennials collecting SS. The black market for bootleg organ transplants must be doing even better than Larry Niven imagined. Someone call Gil Hamilton, the organleggers are running amok!
Elon is supplying half-assed information to support his half-assed claims.
He has no choice but to “pause” the Social Security system. I hope no MAGAts depend on their Social Security checks!!
BTW, Mr Musk has increased his worth some $150 BILLION since the election!!
The DOGE-boyz also “found” that USAID gave $50 MILLION or more to Hamas (or was it the Taliban) for condoms!
Are all the DOGE-boyz white supremacist incels, or is it just the ones where anyone bothered to check?
Too bad President Trump and Elon are succeeding at finding waste, fraud, and abuse of taxpayers dollars at such an alarming rate, huh Rimjob?
The condom thing is made up bullshit.
Same thing with Elon’s boys.
Elon Rules!!!
MAGA47 – 54% Approval Rating
You would think that Jeff would be in favor of finding egregious violations of the law by our government. But for some reason he finds donating condoms to the Islams is ok. He has no answer for giving hundreds of millions to a large number of people over one hundred years. Or even that USAID gives a large percentage of money to organizations contrary to our interest. Then he ask for evidence? That comes with the coming trials, but he can not understand that concept. Guy is losing it.
Porter David should insist on evidence rather than Elon’s unsupported pronouncements.
By all means correct ALL egregious violations of the law. Even assaulting police officers.
Even the despicable Elon admitted the condom story was a lie.
MAGAts hate all non-military foreign aid, so they lie about it to end it.
They favor all laws that distribute the fruits of working class labors to men like Trump and Musk and Bezos etc.
Cut the Social Security from the working class that paid into it so that Musk can get a bigger tax cut! Musk is a autistic genius and can better spend your money than you can.
BTW, his 25 yr old leader of cyberstalking the Social Security files is a white supremacist incel.
