I cannot believe that he is going after the sole support of the majority of seniors in this country who are already living below the poverty level.

190 countries have social security. This includes all of the countries Musk has citizenship as well as Russia.

When they talk about deceased people collecting Social Security, get on social media and TV with the form in hand. Have a renowned funeral home director explain how benefits are stopped when someone passes away. Show the odds of someone collecting benefits after death are extremely low.

Thanks, Chris. May I suggest putting a spotlight on the "empathy" bit from the co-potus?
I think it's a pretty big deal.

jbnia.bsky.social•45 days ago

As I remember the Madoff Ponzi scheme, Bernie was the rich guy stealing from “investors’” accounts and covering it up by new investors paying old investors. The Ponzi part of that scheme was Madoff. The Ponzi part of Social Security is what Musk & Trump are trying to do: divert our money.

I've been paying into the social security system since 1986. These robber barons are worse than evil if that's possible.

Will a Democrat leader please ask the Republicans for a list of these supposed dead people that Social Security is paying. Easy to counter if you ask the right questions.

votevaxresist.bsky.social•44 days ago

If you have ever dealt with Social Security you know that the “S” should be for stingy, but maybe also for solid. Just know People are NOT going to part with it. Things are about to get ugly.

skalvesterskallone.bsky.social•45 days ago

Oh, by the way, acting commissioner Leland Dudek now say DOGE is bad and doesn’t know what it’s doing with Social Security, too bad he didn’t feel that way when he opened the door and sold out his country. Make no mistake, what ever happens to Social Security will be on Leland Dudek’s hands

evantoes6.bsky.social•45 days ago

All those bullshit claims already debunked by serious examination refuting Musk about 300+ year olds receiving SS check, and other ridiculous age groups, laughing at his own absurdity. NOT FUNNY OR TRUE! Stop the theft of our benefits. STOP TRUMP SAVE AMERICA

Which billionaire is gonna buy social security. After being dismantled to the point your ss checks don't get sent. 45 will tell you that if it is privatized it will run more efficiently. Breaking thing, than selling them off is the art of his deal.

suze2525.bsky.social•45 days ago

I am guessing that the majority of Red voters would be social security recipients. Not only have they shot themselves in the foot, they are guilty of the demise of the once great country of America. I pray with all my heart America can legitimately rid this vermin.

il-kwang.bsky.social•45 days ago

Privatizing Social Security was the major goal that George W. Bush never achieved. Trump could be poised to get away with setting it on fire. It is imossible to keep with Trump 2.0.

I worked for Social Security and went after individuals who try to steal benefits. They got caught. Thank you for the truth!

plains.bsky.social•45 days ago

I’ll work until I can’t & then kill myself. That’s how I’m thinking & it can’t just be me. This isn’t a cry for help or hyperbole, just reality about what’s going to happen in the next few years

tonyislost.bsky.social•45 days ago

Welp. I want my money back. And based on Elon’s description of how Social Security works, that means a lot of current recipients will not get there “handouts.” Just so happens they’re maga supporters? I’m okay with that.

eliz12.bsky.social•45 days ago

It's so obvious. The same playbook. When will voters stop being so naive?

ejanice295.bsky.social•45 days ago

How will he actually cut Social Security? please someone.

hes already started by cutting the director of the program. his minions in congress will follow with further limits, we can only imagine at this stage....

If they want to ignite a full societal rebellion in order to implement Marshall Law, this would do it.

Apparently the names with dates of birth 115+years ago are a special "bucket" of names whose social security numbers and other data are incomplete. These names are saved for further checking. They use the old dates so payments will not be made.

If he messes around with social security. The people are going to rebel. That will be a bridge too far.

flyovercountry76.bsky.social•45 days ago

The rebellion needs to begin BEFORE they mess around with SS- but it is already TOO LATE. They ALREADY CUT the SSA staff and offices to slow down the ability of new beneficiaries to get their money. Next will be the $$ itself.

Does he get a syphilis waiver? No, he is still responsible for his Nonsense. He is getting a pass for being orange and mildly entertaining. He is The poster child for D.E.I hiring. He is compromised.

They are dying to privatize Social Security so they can skim some off the top.

Just like they did with student loans. Now our college graduates are in life long debt.

We must stop them.

Looking at the lists that Doge put out, it looks to me like a list of everyone who has ever received benefits. My grandfather started getting benefits at the very beginning, and he would be 149 if he was still around. 🤷🏽‍♀️
