Thank you for posting.

Any responsible, licensed and qualified auditor of the Social Security Payment System would work diligently and professionally and report his findings to the President and Congress for corrective action, if necessary.

Not Musk. “Work Fast Break Things”

I’m so glad I’m not doing work for that man anymore.

The DOGE folks are probably looking at the last few years of GAO and IG reports to know where to look to "discover" major issues with government spending! 🤫🫣

Anyone looking for accurate info can (at least for now) access a slew of SSA OIG audit reports here:

Elon works for the government to dismantle social security and regulations and biomedical research while receiving state contracts for spacex and running Twitter as a propaganda machine to promote far right politics home abroad.
Have you deleted your Twitter account yet?

jesse they said considerably more than what you screenshot yourself saying here, i am not sure what you're actually even trying to brag about, to be honest. thanks for sharing your source's info though, you're not entirely useless.

Ok government bootlicker (Musk never said fraud by the way; he’s just stating that there is something off about this data. You’re the one putting words in his mouth).

By the way, if you don’t think that there isn’t any sort of shadiness going on with Social Security, I have a bridge to sell you.

This is pretty much true of most of his "findings"

schmidtbrian.bsky.social•20 days ago

Yep, like that place that processed all retirements by hand. A known problem. Which doesn't mean it's not a problem, but not something he discovered or contributed to solving.

Every time Musk tweets he spawns a new, dumber timeline. Worst science fiction ever ...
