Wow, 83% fraudulent? Sounds like they should just stop payment on *all* Social Security checks just to be safe.

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!

A) should he even be publishing that? and B) I'm sure a real expert will soon explain what that means.

I handle my elderly parent’s finances and am watching the accounts closely. Disgusting

benfranklinsaid.bsky.social•8 days ago

My elderly MAGA parents live on social security. I’ll have to mention that they need to watch their numbers carefully. They live in a blue state maybe some rando at DOGE will cut their benefits for the lulz

morningbear.bsky.social•8 days ago

They are desperate to get maga on board. Now that they have gutted FEMA and so many lost jobs. Blame SS, get em riled up whilst, you know!

samiaalisalama.bsky.social•7 days ago

Is #ElonMusk actually stupid, or is he just pretending?

macca1950.bsky.social•8 days ago

Well, I guess he must have personally investigated all 72million of them because surely he couldn’t be that stupid.

darthstar.bsky.social•8 days ago

In a few more months, CNN is going to be hard pressed to find a Trump friendly midwest diner where they can interview 'regular folk' about how much they love their choice of president.

webrant.bsky.social•8 days ago

Certainly it isn't about just taking the money for themselves.

"This might be the biggest fraud in history," said the biggest fraud in history.

elderlylady.bsky.social•8 days ago

Very weird thing happened last week. I got mine! But it isn't supposed to come until this Wed, day after tomorrow. I'm a 3rd Wed of the month recipient. Not a 2nd Wed recipient.

Maybe I'll get another one this week😁 That would be so sweet. LOL.

92% of statistics on the internet are just made up.

e-five.bsky.social•8 days ago

Yes. Elon says the fraud rate is nearly 100%. Shut it down. Pull the plug. Make the seniors prove they exist. Probably no one is legit. Let's see.

pacmanfever.bsky.social•8 days ago

They made it clear during COVID; they are fine with old people dying.

jaymar201.bsky.social•8 days ago

In 3, 2, 1:

I, Donald J. Trump, President of the USA/Aryan Superman/Chosen One/God-King, declare a total freeze all on Social Security payments until we figure out what the hell is going on. Elon says its fishy. He ought to know. He smells like fish. Like, all the time. What's up with that?

I'd tell you not to give him any ideas, but he already has this idea

jscherz.bsky.social•8 days ago

I hope they do so those receiving it feel tbe impact of their vote.

lisabelle.bsky.social•8 days ago

So in just a few days they have scrutinised 72 million records and checked every individual's circumstances and entitlement to SS? 😕

catsafae.bsky.social•8 days ago

Normally, saying, "Don't give them ideas" would be humor, if gallows humor. At this point, it is not only believable, but perhaps even prophetic.

300ps.bsky.social•8 days ago

Will Trump sign the you're kicked of social security letters like he signed the stimulus checks.

algi.bsky.social•8 days ago

The only way for the US to save the personal data and hide it from future compromises is creating new systems from the ground up, distributing new ID numbers to every citizen bc the SSNs all belong to Musk now. Everyone's identity belongs to him. This has to be left behind & new identities created.

gwpda.bsky.social•8 days ago

Maybe if the little muskrats learned COBOL they'd have more of an idea. That "1875" date is, in ancient COBOL an error message. It shouts out WE KNOW THIS ISN'T A REAL DATE - IT'S A MARKER FOR A DISCOVERED ERROR. Idiots. At least we know they've been into Social Security records.

gedtophd.bsky.social•8 days ago

So, the 150 receiving benefits...

Did the person live to 100 to then enroll in direct deposit, which was invented in mid 70s?

Or have they been receiving paper checks and the now 68 to 75 year old fraudster is still cashing them

evamc.bsky.social•8 days ago

According to people on here who know COBOL, 1875 is a COBOL error flag that the dogey ninnies misinterpreted as a birth year, because they don’t know anything about older programming languages.

evamc.bsky.social•8 days ago

Not that I think caution or attention to detail is in their mandate or toolbox

floridadab.bsky.social•8 days ago

I’ve been an actuary for 25 years and understanding how data is structured and the business rules are things we do with interns. If they came to these kinds of conclusions after a 2 month internship, we don’t offer them full time jobs. At least I think we don’t, we haven’t had any this dumb.

jvd001.bsky.social•8 days ago

Shhhh. They may take you up on it.

gerardharbison.bsky.social•8 days ago

Did a quick poll of my household. 2 SS recipients, neither fraudulent. Only a 3% chance of that. Phew!

murdochargh.bsky.social•8 days ago

The plan is likely to take all of the social security, yes, but our tax returns are first. Anyone want to take wagers on whether or not we get these?

shankspeare.bsky.social•8 days ago

Weird how *no one* saw that coming.

polyglotprog.bsky.social•8 days ago

Is this where we all discuss the fact that SS numbers are a time/date based system, and are sequential.. I.e. most of those numbers were either not used, or those people are no longer with us. But that doesn't mean their number isn't eligible, because eligibility is based upon a date and a start #.

bchanson.bsky.social•8 days ago

I’d like to see his evidence on everything before he dismantles the entire country.

realindependent.bsky.social•8 days ago

I mean, they can’t just let this fraud continue! They better cut it all off now!

klikklak.bsky.social•8 days ago

What percentage of the SS that is distributed is survivor's benefits?

modparlphotos.bsky.social•8 days ago

That's exactly what they're planning. I don't think Muskrat necessarily believes the bullshit he's spouting - but he knows that MAGAts are stupid enough to believe it.

paintandbourbon.bsky.social•8 days ago

This is absolutely where this fucker is headed.

avirginian1.bsky.social•8 days ago

I hope he does it. That would jolt the population to wake up to Musk's evil coup.

bevgray.bsky.social•7 days ago

A 10 year study showed Social Security payments are 99.2% accurate, but no surprise the people who drank bleach during pandemic are easily fooled.

eggavatar829824.bsky.social•8 days ago

I wish people would stop attributing stuff like this to “idiocy” or “stupidity” on the part of Musk, Trump & Co. Their whole idea is to disenfranchise and dispossess ordinary Americans, and they’re going about it systematically.

saeroun-sayongja.bsky.social•8 days ago

They are maliciously and systematically demolishing state capability, but clumsily and without foresight of the consequences.

I think they might be evil AND stupid.

fry69.dev•8 days ago

This might all just be well cooked propaganda for his fan base. We are not the audience. ->

texdog97.bsky.social•8 days ago

So, HE CHANGED the death field to FALSE and is using that false data to claim fraud? Am I understanding that correctly?

antimattr359.bsky.social•8 days ago

More likely there are a bunch of records for which there's not an "official" death record. I would expect that in the database there's also a flag for whether a particular person is eligible for benefits, but that shit-for-brains ketamine-addled fuckface probably won't be sharing that info.

eruanion.bsky.social•8 days ago

Elon proves, regularly, that he doesn't know a damn thing about the stuff his supporters swear he is an expert at.

benfranklinsaid.bsky.social•8 days ago

I’m stunned every time someone posts what Elon is saying over on X. Industrial scale disinformation. Also I had no idea he was so stupid, or willfully credulous.

rugger6300.bsky.social•8 days ago

Tell me again how if Kamala had just explained her plan to reduce the price of eggs, then she would have won? How do you compete with blatant lies like this?
