This is what I said about the tariffs leaking too they know they are full of rats… flood the ship with fake or early info see where it floats up first.
WIRED magazine still hasn’t taken this story down from their Web site and it’s still on their Bluesky page. They haven’t apologized for making a mistake in reporting it or corrected it in any way.
I believe Musk IS moving Social Security’s Comms dep’t to Twitter.
Idk, I wrote and called all of my reps. I shared that article and the SSA tweet with them on my socials. I have a feeling Musk & DoGE can't be doing this shit 'cause they're in the middle of an audit. And there's another court case blocking them from anything but read-only access. We'll see.
Arizona, and now ALSO Michigan, have AGs that are taking complaints about Social Security problems. Why doesn't PA have that? You don't need AG Sunday to do that - YOU can do that out of the Office of the Governor. Protect our seniors, if you want to get ahead, Josh.
I was on Twitter for a few years before I escaped around five years ago. I NEVER used any app to access it, other than the same web browser I'm using to access BlueSky.
It’s just every day ridiculous nonsense coming out of that idiotic White House. Those bozos are driving the clown car off a cliff and they’re dragging us with them.
@smith.senate.gov
It's real. Under DOGE, SSA has been trying to control the messaging for controversial changes, releasing information to the public in small chunks (or not at all). They've failed, thanks to whistleblowing and media reporting. When info gets out before they're prepared, they lie.
That is excellent news. I still stand by my statement that X should NOT BE USED AS A GOVERNMENT COMMUNICATIONS TOOL. That means by any Congress member or government agency or department. @smith.senate.gov
100% the public should say enough you touch our saftey insurance programs again SS, MEDICARE,MEDICAID if Seniors , disabled dont receive their earned benefits on time your ass is in a sling ! Signed the USA citizens !
Never assume! Senate needs to get the right information and act now! Get DOGE out of Social Security. It is our money! I have been working since I was 15. I am now 69. You do the math! I am too old to deal with this and I rely on my Social Security!!
That does have much more detail, yeah. Strange then they’d still deny it, or maybe they’re denying the exclusivity aspect, meaning they’ll use Twitter/X and other sources but NOT the ones previously used that they’re ending.
we need to stop pretending like anything normal is happening. not even members of congress have a clue what’s happening. the country is being managed by unelected bureaucrats and college students.
Unelected bureaucrats have been managing the country forever. College students have been interns in government agencies. Back in the normal times both were vetted and didn’t have felony convictions.
yes, but never without congressional approval! ask one congress member what’s happening and they won’t be able to answer because they don’t have oversight.
Even Rachel reported on it last night. It seems there might or might have been some truth to it. I am thinking we may have to wait and see what happens to it.
Just went on Reddit & you can go to https://xcancel.com/socialsecurity to get the local X updates on SS instead of jumping in the trash bin again.
"My Social Security" is active & accurate if you need anything, like to see when your next check is coming, print out your benefit letter, wages earned, etc.
So Musk benefits again from working from within our government to push business his own way whine he yearns down our govt. Twitter sinking so drive traffic by getting those agencies on it. So sick of this GD scum scammer.
Or it was a rumor planted by them so when the story breaks they can use it as an example of why people should never believe journalists' reporting on DOGE
You’re probably correct. Just insidious DOGE playing the media? For drug addled Musk this is all a game. He feels like he’s master of the universe. How do we get rid of the loser? @vanhollen.senate.gov @chrismurphyct.bsky.social @alsobrooks.senate.gov @warren.senate.gov
Imagine the following being (1) the flimsy, tech-code-bro centric excuse/justification to go chainsaw on everyone's lives (2) the operating manual for how to chainsaw on everyone's lives (3) this wiki-depth-level of understanding shared by those chainsawing: https://www.v-wiki.net/scream-test-meaning/
At this point in America's history, anything said by any department that has been touched (aka. sullied) by this administration, should be in question!
THIS. Cluster B personalities only care about power. If they perceive weakness, you become prey. Go toe-to-toe, 50/50 they'll shrink like a bitch. Other 50% be prepared to act defensively asap.
Point taken. But technically “Wanker” is masturbation shaming (and not common in the US). I was using D-bag to describe JD Vance until I thought about it. Like “pussy” and “wimp,” it’s calling him feminine. We need a great one syllable neuter insult, something like “Tool” or “Ass” but better.
I've been calling him Thiel's pocket bussy. The amusing part is, there is no fucking reason why that *has* to be an insult *unless* you are a homophobic POS. lulz. I grew up on IRC, come at me 4chan boys.
I suspect Elon Musk and Peter Thiel are both involved in large-scale racketeering, data theft, and other schemes that include elected officials as well as corporate leaders. As well as bookkeeping/accounting/tax fraud.
I do think that this specific sword has two edges and cuts both ways.
Yep. And the ONLY effective solution to being blackmailed is a public confession. Have to take away the power of the secrets. There are likely no innocent politicians, or damn few. I think most Americans can excuse indiscretion and vice if it prevents further treason and tyranny.
Right. I know we all realistically expect a certain level of corruption in a lot of people in high-level politics anyway. A lot of it isn't gonna come as a surprise.
This isn't the time for our politicians to cower and make concessions to Billionaires with emperor dreams. Gonna backfire anyway.
That's why having a free press to go "hold on, WHAT WAS THAT? People will hear about this..." is part of how you hold budding autocrats accountable. It genuinely helps prevent things autocrats want to DO by exposing it to people. That's why autocrats want to muzzle the news.
People do not know what to believe anymore, 40% of the people on security need actual phones to talk to people at the agency, we don’t need a website or an app to talk to a representative of Social Security
Maybe they’re planning to add a crystal ball to the PressSec’s podium? That way she can stare into it and wave her hands around while she’s spouting nonsense. I mean - it could work.
Isn't "media" the plural of "medium"? Just like 'stadium' and 'stadia'; 'datum' and 'data'.
English is not even my first language... I even understand also these words come from latin but are widely used in english and a native should be able to know how to use them. Not in the Trump admin it seems
"Sources" are apparently what the White House calls itself when it wants to talk shit via reporters and remain anonymous. And WH press are letting them do this now, because fascism.
Bear in mind the White House and all federal agency communications now have the credibility of the Kremlin before you discount @wired.com in favor of their latest 'alternative facts'
I'm sure it is/was real, and further, that the intent is to eventually move Social Security benefit payments to Twit-x. I am certain that E's merry band of hacker boys are currently working on that. Sure hope Congress can put the adults back in charge before it's too late.
This would also explain why E is trying to replace/break the existing SSA payment system. Like an arsonist who joins the fire department so he can heroically put out the blazes he sets, E thinks he will save us from the destruction he himself wrought AND make billions in the process.
Note that this message from SOMEONE at the SSA isn't signed or attributed to a SSA official. My bet is that THEY are the ones lying. So far, Wired's record with all the shit the Fed has pulled has been pretty accurate.
Not real that X will be providing service to SS recipients. It may be true they're trying to use X for all *public* communications, but even this is not certain.
Or it changed its mind, or saw a newscast, or got into an argument over shower heads, or took too much ketamine, or became distracted over some other shiny new thing
They’re planning to eliminate 87% of all SS workers. This will crash the agency and end SS payments. Don’t chase the shiny objects. Stick to the important news. They’re intentionally destroying our shared retirement security system. Those of us on disability will die without our benefits…
Correction, there are posts in the Instagram side of the account. Including one from April 4th instructing people to follow SSA on X: https://www.instagram.com/p/DIBiWQhvk9T/
Please follow through with not only constituents but how many offices are left? How many are slated to be closed. How many employees are left? All of Congress need to be watching this like hawks.
According to reporting there is still confusion and even some chaos when people try to access help, by phone, in person, and online. And apparently more of this to come. Lots of vulnerable people need help to even access help from Social Security.
It damn well not be true. I will NOT go on that toxic cesspool of a propaganda platform to get official government information. I pay taxes and I did not pay for fascism!
Comments
And all can be true at the same time.
Bro, who do you think is holding this whole place together?
Elon?
That said, I'm skeptical of any statement that comes from a doge-infected agency, and Wired's reporting has been pretty sharp thus far.
I believe Musk IS moving Social Security’s Comms dep’t to Twitter.
Wired has been pretty solid!
or do they believe "mediums" is the plural of "media"? --that would just figure, wouldn't it.)
It's real. Under DOGE, SSA has been trying to control the messaging for controversial changes, releasing information to the public in small chunks (or not at all). They've failed, thanks to whistleblowing and media reporting. When info gets out before they're prepared, they lie.

two cans and a string too?
My guess is they want to save the pennies it costs to host the content on the ssa dot gov website.
2. If they plan to use every medium available, why don’t they have a Bluesky account?
"My Social Security" is active & accurate if you need anything, like to see when your next check is coming, print out your benefit letter, wages earned, etc.
Don't help the gaslighters.
Why is he still doing this!
Unless you have a solid Quid Pro Quo, you get nothing.
Thanks for standing up for all if us in the Senate.
I'm still not willingly providing $ to the federal government.
Never going back to X. It's garbage.
Which means we should ALWAYS respond to every stupid thing they do with as much outrage as possible. It might work.
And ALWAYS assume the worst about these criminals.

with AI especially
could there be "evidence" of something that is NOT low level vice?
A smear campaign of lies can be very effective, too.

Who is running these accounts?!
Like with a crystal ball?
Near the bottom of the story, a call is mentioned. It seems to be the "meeting with managers" referenced near the top.
I think the call/meeting was recorded and given to WIRED reporters.
As for Leland Dudek he is all in with Sleazy E and his Peter Pan Posse sabotaging the agency so Wall Street can grab the Trust Funds!
Do they have a Bluesky account?
Not "mediums."
Good grief.
Maybe they’re planning to add a crystal ball to the PressSec’s podium? That way she can stare into it and wave her hands around while she’s spouting nonsense. I mean - it could work.
Can you please investigate how much the US government is now paying X for verified organizational accounts with affiliates + advertising?
It’s all public spending & should be transparent, but it’s not.
English is not even my first language... I even understand also these words come from latin but are widely used in english and a native should be able to know how to use them. Not in the Trump admin it seems
🤣🤣🤣 well played.
Unless they're planning to communicate entirely through psychics...
Change from Gulf of Mexico to Gulf of America was NOT published in the federal register and violates the Code of Federal Regulations.
Next question: What is "any and all mediums." That doesn't sound secure.

More recently, not only do I feel the need to keep checking, but for the 1st time ever, I'm receiving phishing emails supposedly from the SSA.
COINCIDENCE? OR DOGE-RELATED?
