Elon Musk is an idiot on an almost inconceivable scale. He had his high-school toadies pull a random list from a database he doesn’t understand, and on that basis alone decided that 60 MILLION SOCIAL SECURITY ENROLLEES, out of 72 million total, are fraudulent. 83% fraudulent!

The SSA's Public Roadmaps, and SSA Jobs I've applied-for indicate that the SSA uses OracleDB and MSSQL.
His tweet:

It's propaganda.
I guess X falls in that same category.

Seriously.
He tweeted a few days ago that the govt doesnt use SQL.
“They were careless people … they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever … and let other people clean up the mess they had made.”

Perhaps it would be most illuminating to find anecdotes of the stupidest people in history as a framework of understanding.
I know! A quiz!
Who was the guy at Decca who passed on the Beatles?
Which French General failed to repel the German Blitzkrieg because he did not have a strategic reserve with which to counter attack the Germans during the days it took their infantry to catch up to the motorized divisions?
“Elon Musk is an idiot on an almost inconceivable scale”
That is the tweet.
Been obvious for at least the last 3 years. The madman fully emerged when he wanted Twitter.
And for years before there were signs when business partners and his first wife told their stories.
He’s loco.
Those supporters never look any deeper and just accept his bullshit.
Which buys him time.
The collapse of social security will be happily embraced collateral damage.
I honestly wouldn't put it past him and his incel army to manufacture evidence and insert it into our systems.
Another scandal that Biden chose to not pursue vigorously in the name of “bipartisanship.”
Both thought they could negotiate with fascists. Both failed.
Like, it’s great that they went after lots of individuals but they chose to never connect it to Trump and Kushner, hoping they’d just go away.

He knows exactly what he is doing with his lies and manipulation of facts to push his criminal agenda to destroy the UNITED STATES of AMERICA.

He's merely supremely confident that his fanboys and MAGA at large...ARE.

It’s their voters who aren’t smart enough to realize they are misrepresenting data.
He knows it's not true. He also knows that the MAGA base isn't smart enough to know its not true.
These kids aren’t “toadies”. They’re just the usual “go getter” types that tech companies love. All “delivery”, no thought. No validation of data, or proper understanding… just grab what you need and ShipIt!
But tech rewards pumping out rubbish as fast as possible, correctness and resilience be damned. So kids like these in tech rise over PhD-level mathematicians and physicists.
I still have the innate tendency to jump to the fastest, call-it-done solution. But my PhD taught me to spend more time questioning myself and what I might have missed.
These people are legal adults who have 1) agency 2) opportunity to crash the world economy
They should all go to jail for this shit
How hard is it for Democrats to amplify this fear in the public? Don’t worry about what Glenn Kessler thinks about it, just say it, for fuck’s sake.

(I DONT know COBOL or its storage mechanism!)
https://www.theregister.com/2019/10/18/us_nuclear_upgrade/
The moment you need to change the business logic you need COBOL programmers. Know any?
The last time a coder thought ooh this looks like a language I should learn was 1989.
This is also why banks still use COBOL.
Elon, lost in conspiracy,
Claimed vampires get social security.
Old COBOL coding is really to blame.
Old Mainframes work better than Elon’s brain.
I suspect it’s just a convenient lie to enable him to cut taxes and spending.
Possibly killing all who own this, their hard earned money, supposedly held in trust for their benefit by the government that he's dismantling. #EvilMusk
descriptive - what happened
diagnostic - why it happened
predictive - what is likely to happen
prescriptive - what will happen
He sees descriptive, misinterprets the data then jumps to prescriptive.
He's a fool, a demagogue or a foolish demagogue.
Who thinks this is good?
Putin for one.

The information war is being won by him. People truly believe he’s saving all of us from fraud.
But like, yesterday.
Conceived by Musk.

& share with Joe Rogan & all of the Valuetainment Musk Bros, they blocked me, a little old invisible lady 😉👇

If someone dies (it’s been known to happen) the government doesn’t DELETE the social security number. So of course there are millions of numbers.
He knows better. His flying monkey army of followers doesn’t.
Who am I kidding - these malignant narcissistic nihilists always need to surround themselves with underlings who make them appear ‘smart’.
The longest-lived person ever from the US was Sarah Knauss, of Hollywood, PA, who died on Dec. 30, 1999, aged 119.
Currently, the oldest living person in the US is Naomi Whitehead (26 Sep 1910) 114 yrs & the oldest living man in the US is Edwin Martin (15 Feb 1915) 110 yrs.
Why would there would be a setting for a false death bucket?
& the other screen shot- what does it say that he searched US population and it included Russia (and Mexico)?
He doesn’t care
He’s just coming up with something to justify cuts
Then anyone that gets affected by this and loses their Social Security won’t be able to call or fix their claim and get their information put back in the system
The 2015 IG report is available here: https://oig-files.ssa.gov/audits/full/A-06-14-34030_0.pdf
The 2023 IG report is available here: https://oig.ssa.gov/assets/uploads/a-06-21-51022.pdf
OTOH, IT MIGHT NOT BE.
What kind of an idiot declares to his millions of followers that this might be the biggest fraud in history when he has zero evidence. An irresponsible moron who thinks he's the cleverest person on the planet thats who.
If there's something Doggie's favorite potus knows well,
it is fraud.
I would have expected the last 'correct' age to be 114 (for Naomi Whitehead), then many ‘unknown' age, defaulted to 150 (date 1875). What are all the ages in between? And how did he got to 199 years old?
Can you guess why?
His descent into vocal white supremacy & 2nd grade understanding of how government works has revealed the lie.
Final answer, lock it in.

FOOLS!
Elon, lost in conspiracy,
Claimed vampires get social security.
Old COBOL coding is really to blame.
Old Mainframes work better than Elon’s brain.
That whole thing with the twitter post was either made up or bad "AI" bullshit.
Why no one is stopping this is FAR beyond my capacity to understand.
Disgusting either way
Too bad for everyone they live in fantasy land
BEST SENTENCE EVER!!
Like most humans, when he's suspicious he sees what he wants to see. He's very insecure and very emotionally invested in this hunt, so he sees those numbers and can't fathom any other explanation.
He thinks he's the first person to 'discover' this, and all he cares about it that it fits his narrative. He is not smart enough to actually understand any of the problems he's trying to solve.
He's a drug-addled, billionaire moron.
Elon, lost in conspiracy,
Claimed vampires get social security.
Old COBOL coding is really to blame.
Old Mainframes work better than Elon’s brain.
But I also think these guys end up believing their own bullshit because they are drug addled dipshits with god complexes.
Should be treated as garbage numbers.
Weir explains the coding behind the 150 y/o "recipients" of Social Security. It was a work-around
Elon is so dumb. Any auditor would have understood this going into the investigation.

Fraud is usually clearly evident and oftentimes criminal. Abuse is a little harder to nail down.
But waste is literally one person's opinion about a particular expenditure.
2) Just because the database isn't updated doesn't mean a check was issued.
4) Only by trying all of the pieces in the payment chain together can you even establish whether there is any fraud at all or just a data gap from *checks notes* SSN not being a universal ID program.
I'm also good with just saying, "show your code Elon."
Hillbillies all, like JD Vance's fam.
I wouldn’t have known that either.
But I don’t run the government. But I probably would have asked first.
It might be good to update the system lol.
Also, is he separating SSNs from EINs?
Triplett was born in 1930 to Mose Triplett, age 83, and Elida Hall, age 34. Her father, who had fought for both the Confederacy and the Union during the Civil War, was aged 78 when he married her mother.
Say it isn't deliberate, it would mean his world is "tiny" as fuck like an online multiplayer world.
There are so many possible things it could be and anyone who's remotely curious can tell you that.

He's a Joseph Goebbels fanboy. Keep repeating a lie and it becomes accepted as truth,
To be a fly on the wall when you had to explain to someone why they wind up having to live on the street and not be able to afford groceries for months.
He also explains this stupidity in his latest video.
