When does the conflict of interest come into play with this administration? It's the most obvious to see, and maybe that's why their doing it in such a way.
Since the tariff/stock market robbery, been wondering just how fast those fks would steal our ss benefits, money we've paid into and need to live on.
#Fuckmusk
That's the point. Make people use online sources, exclusively, and then deny them access. The SSA has a similar disclaimer (that you must agree to) with their website: if you're suspected of suspicious activity, your access will be denied.
Then those who still have an X account need to copy the SSA info to Bluesky so we can get the info out to the public. You know Musk will suppress any posts about how to maneuver thru the maze of SSA just to hurt people.
Flat out idiotic. Why not use a tool like buffer (early investor) or hootsuite (investor thru acquisition) or one of other similar tools to communicate via many platforms?
I’m sorry but NO! I don’t have an “X” account and never will! Older people aren’t always as tech savvy and maybe can’t even sign up. Totally ridiculous and discriminatory! @amyklobuchar.com @smith.senate.gov
My 83 year mother has moderate/severe vascular dementia and can't remember what year it is more days than not, and has never ever ever learned to use a smart phone, but sure, we're going to get her to use Twitter (and yes, I will dead-name that Nazi platform til I die). FFS
You will need to have power of information given and approved by mom and family. Make a "MomOfSusan" account and populate the profile with approximate information so criminals cannot hack and steal her identity with precise data. So you can see announcements. Only follow official accounts. And more
Me and my siblings have all the legal things set up, thank the Spaghetti Monster. But the combined callousness and greed of this just pisses me off no end.
I had to check.
There is no end to their abusive nature~~
Friends turning their calendar year after year .. growing old is hard enough without these monsters.
My mom, aunt and friend of +70 years taught me to write notes and letters. They get read as new multiple times; do add pictures.
NO ! DO NOT use Twitter.
Thats what they want. They want people to just willie nillie follow.
DON'T. Because Social Security does NOT belong on fucking Twitter. For any fucking reason.!!
NO ONE should be using TWITTER for private personal things with the government EVER.
.
WHY DOES X HAVE MY PERSONAL INFORMATION?
I GAVE NO ONE PERMISSION TO ILLEGALLY TRANSPORT MY INFORMATION TO AN ENEMY ENTITY. THIS IS AN ATTACK ON MY PERSONAL PRIVACY!
So interesting because I get many emails a week from SSA that have said don't worry, everything is fine. Doge is a huge cash grab for Drumpf/ Elonia. They shut down the 20 agencies investigating Elonia and award him over $700 million in contracts where he essentially has privatized many departments
My local office went from 9-5 hours, down to 9-4 recently. The automated voice tells you (after 3 mins of phone tree) that all lines are busy call back later then disconnects. After 2 weeks of calling, I finally got through & have an appointment. It's only getting worse 😔
1-not a Government Site
2-not a secure site
3-conflict of interest
This all is just plain coo-coo for Coco Puffs! I guess it will take his people not getting their checks to get their attention.
Some people:
- have poor sight
- have arthritic hands
- don’t have or want a device
- don’t want the X app
- have been suspended from X
- are worried about security.
Do these guys ever think things through properly?
🤷♀️🤷♀️🤷♀️🤷♀️🤷♀️🤷♀️🤷♀️🤷♀️🤷♀️🤷♀️🤷♀️🤷♀️
Exactly! I think of my 84 year old Mom who has passed from Covid. She would have never went for that. Many seniors don’t even have online devices—that is what they are counting on. Make it as hard as possible—then the government can keep all of our hard earned savings.
I’m taking mine from musk directly now. Let’s steal his shit if he wants to play with America’s elderly, disabled, and kids whose parents are dead, and retirees.
This is outrageous. This harms the public and serves Elon Musk royally. It excludes the vast majority of the people on SocSec, and forces millions of people onto Elon Musk’s platform ( which has become a sewer of propaganda and lies since he bought it). It also excludes millions who can’t access it.
I’m thinking it’s to promote Twitter/X too. I don’t know if I believe any of this. Maybe he’s just putting it out there to test compliance. This has not been on the news anywhere. I would think a story this big would have lots of coverage.
You're not wrong to be skeptical. The media seems very scattered these days, probably having SO much to cover or because they have bowed to the regime. It is on Wired, however, and they have broken many of the stories where DOGE is concerned.
WOW - this is asinine. They know this is NOT a viable option and that people will suffer and potentially die as a result of their malfeasance. And the fact that they don't care makes them me monsters in every sense of the word 😡😡
That is super effed up! No governmental agency should be on X. It's total BS!! Besides that, it is likely dangerously compromised in terms of privacy, etc. Nothing the jumping lunatic does is secure and protected.
I’m no Luddite but I’m tired of companies each having an app, a password, personal data collection, etc. - admin tasks, not customer jobs. I’m a retired admin, & I resent having to learn more new stuff every day. Internet is just another way to make us work for them, not a personal convenience.

They wanted me to hand over my Government ID yesterday when they locked my account 45 seconds after I challenged someone spreading lies about social security.
I DID NOT
They said social security are giving out Billions of dollars to undocumented immigrants and other countries.
Which was bullshit.
Wtf? Did we not just learn a valuable lesson about using Signal for confidential information? But you want to put Social Security info on X? The platform that just got hacked in January??
Hatch Act was initially violated when tRump and Musk sold Tesla's from White House Garden.What did anyone do then? Nothing! So X was losing users daily;this sure will boost his readership and stock-a trapped audience-that's if most seniors and disabled can even create an account. If not,"Oh well"!
This is straight up ageist. They know they just fucked with the wrong group of people. Elderly boomers may have driven us into the ground with their shitty votes but Social Security and Medicaid is a bridge too far for their selfish asses. The administration knows this. Voter suppression.
Oh well if the demo that served us up 36 years of supply-side Christian warmongers on the right and spineless corporate centrist warmongers on the “left” before elevating Donald fucking Trump to the world stage finally broke a couple points D then no harm no foul I guess!
Your interpretation is unfair and inaccurate but facts don't matter in the USA anymore so you're right, I'm right, we're all right in our minds, and that's all that matters to Americans.
By that point it was too little, too late. They started the fire, fueled it for years, and then threw their drink over their shoulder at it as they tried to escape. No points awarded.
The MAGA mentality encompasses all ages and ethnicities. Millions of boomers have never voted for him -- and younger people voted right this time. Congrats on winning the useful idiot award for asinine generalizations.
Here comes the geezer revolution. The likes of which has not been seen before. We are going strap on our depends, lube our wheelchairs and protest our little hearts out. Fuck Doge and Fuck Trump. Also, go birds.
That won't pose a problem: there are no benefits anymore. Turns out benefits are fraud. All expenses that are not SpaceX contracts are fraud now. The SSA's only purpose is now praising Trump and Elon on Twitter.
Already happening. Amber/silver alerts are sent to my phone via X. I don’t have an account there. Why are our tax dollars continuing to subsidize all of Elmo’s companies?
Is that even legal. There’s sensitive personal information that people would be sharing on a commercial platform. I sure as hell wouldn’t provide any PII on X🤷🏻♂️
No thanks, the basic plan is $3 month. That's 1 gallon of milk, a loaf of bread, or many other "grocery" items. Plus guaranteed to receive abuse by the repubs there and the bots? No way.
So does anyone know where all the money that was supposed to be going to all the places/things that have been “canceled” including payroll for fired personnel is? I’d like to know so I can go get my retirement money so I can leave this shit hole country. 😡😡😡😡😡😡
The more subscribers he has the more personal data he can collect, more subscribers he can charge advertisers more make more money.
With this administration it all about $$$$ they can make. $$$$$ is their God.
Fuck that why should my grandmother have to go where if there's Nazi propaganda being spread 24 hours a day to get her social security check that she worked all her life for this government's got to go back to 1930s Germany
They'll use it for data harvesting, for bumping up their usage numbers to attract advertisers, and the messages will be corrupted by people making parody sites or quoting with changes to the original.
This is nuts. I'm collecting SSA, and I'm on "X". I sure as hell would not trust SSA communications coming from a social media platform. Especially one overrun with MAGA trolls and Russian bots.
Thinking outside the box here. Perhaps a good citizen of wealth & connections can start a website for seniors as a hub relaying all the messages, news from this admin to keep the money out of the pockets of Musk & X. Like a dem portal, a one-stop website to relay messages & keep seniors up to date.
What a god damned mo ey grab!!!!! do we now have to pay $10 to get an official blue checkmark next to our name to validate who we are ?!?!?! Fuck this.
I can’t do this. Their moral bankruptcy is hard enough for my heart to handle, and my fucking brain can’t confront how bad their logic is without a blinding headache.
I’m glad my dad passed just before all this happened. He never owned a computer or a smartphone and liked it that way. He raged at having to navigate automated attendants when calling any company…chatbots and social media would have been a bridge too far
I am so sick of everything official being on X.
Since when is social media the say all, end all of communication from our fucking government??
It's like middle school students are running things!
So Elon can Garner more info and data and use an algorithm to automatically declare us "bots" by his bots, hence denying our benefits?? Is this what I'm seeing? Am I understanding this correctly? I've always avoided Twitter/X. So now I have to feed that BEAST to continue to feed myself?
'you know how many grandmas don't know how to use a computer, let alone X. Its crazy how they making people jump through hoops and go up and down chutes and ladders to get their own money.
Totally asinine! Has anyone told tRump what’s going on in social security? Seriously! He’s got his head in the clouds and he doesn’t understand the little people! There are a lot of us who still vote!
So people on social security will have to create an account with their full name on f'Elon's app, to beg and expose their poor situation to millions of hateful magats trolls for full public humiliation?
All that to boost f'Elon's business stats?
🤬🤬🤬FUCKTHISPIECEOF NAZISHIT🤬🤬🤬
It reads like just "public communications" would be on X. Signing up and your info are still on SSA website. God knows I could be wrong or this could change, but that's how I read it. But I'm not on X either and won't be. So wrong.
People who have LOST their social security cannot afford an internet connection to talk to Elonia and beg for money that they paid in their entire lives and now are forced onto the street without. INTERNET? Are you kidding me?
X is not being Putinized into State Media and able to know exactly who you are ( if ever needed ).My advice #Xit #BanX if yr not in the USA and protest verry loud if you are. Musk has to many conflicts of interest as it is, that's not "healthy" and needs a "cure" before Musk controlls all 'medicine"
I am 66. I had a Twitter acct that I haven't used since that wretched man took over. Please don't make ageist comments about seniors. Plenty of us are computer literate & know what X is.I think this is a horrendous development, but not because I can't use an app.
You are correct that sweeping statements help no one. Some folks regardless of age are not tech savvy. No official govt communication should be handled on a private social media platform. Full stop
1. No one wants to use this jank, racist-ass, conspir-shit-cy platform full of edgelords and Christian nationalists
2. This is illegal AF and I hope some people sue the gov for this bs.
Right- propping up X and giving Elon more $ and our private info is crazy.
It is also crazy we would be subject to a racist, xenophobic hate site that spews Kremlin talking points.
When we let even this to be a talking point its pure pathetic these people are at the END , the end stage of their life to live what remaining they have & they are being attacked ! This is purely insane when you mess with esrned benefits for someone who worked for yrs you better seriously watchout !
A self promoting gig to be wired well on X
Why in the world is that necessary
Is that a subscriber media site now

Fuckin' Congress, STEP-UP!
Elon INSISTED that they use Windows for the server rather than Unix, despite the strong objections of others in the company.
I can't help wondering if he insisted on purpose, so he could hack it himself.
Why are we not taking them to court over these things?

Gen X and Gen Z shifted right, favoring Trump. Boomers were the only age group that voted more Democratic in 2024 than they did in 2020.
