This system is how people get Social Security benefits, Medicare payments and tax refund. This is a fucking coup.

This story is bananas.

"A team including current and former employees of Musk assumed command of OPM on Jan. 20 ... They have moved sofa beds onto the fifth floor of the agency's headquarters, which contains the director's office and can only be accessed with a security badge or a security escort."

I highly suspect that he plans to siphon Social Security and Medicare. He's aligning himself with a group that have spoken to constituents in exposing videos that they look to sunset Social Security and Medicare, which was brought up during Biden's SOTU speech.

I have talked to 2 people who have had their social security checks reduced this month with no explanation. One by $400 and one by $600. They are both in blue states. I hope this is not what they are doing and this is a misunderstanding.

From years of being my mom's caretaker, could be several reasons: The medicare fee deducted goes up a little every year. Could also be a change in their IRMAA, which is a premium they may pay, can go up/down based on tax returns. COA always goes up but total can go down.They should call.

Also the change always happens in January, and Edolf just started this yesterday.

joeleneoooo.bsky.social•67 days ago

They have to figure it out. Just weird that happened now. Doesn’t it happen in Jan. ?

rmayemsinger.bsky.social•67 days ago

Yes. Jan check. Today is Feb 1, so you're clearly talking about checks before today.

joeleneoooo.bsky.social•67 days ago

My BIL got his check today. I just checked the bank acct.

joeleneoooo.bsky.social•67 days ago

They are saying the check they got today was short money.

joeleneoooo.bsky.social•67 days ago

He’s been in the offices mince the 20th the post says. But never know what is going on.

rmayemsinger.bsky.social•67 days ago

It's my understanding Elon began trying to take over the payments system yesterday. Was busy with other fascist bullshit before that. But regardless, Jan payments were set. I'm telling you nothing is wrong with anyone's January SS check. They always change by at least few dollars every January

joeleneoooo.bsky.social•67 days ago

Ok.I get it. They will have to wait to talk to ss and see what they say is the reduction reason. I just have an ill feeling with all the money holding and feeezing and game playing they are doing just make me very leery of all of them. Thanks for the chat. It has calmed me down some.

Employees of Musk or employees of Tesla? If he’s using Tesla employees he’s ripping off the shareholders of a publicly traded company

I have filed a criminal complaint with the Colorado State Attorney General against Elon Musk and DOGE for illegally accessing private data through the Treasury Department. I suggest every American citizen do the same in their State. DOGE and Elon Musk are not government agents

What is Musk's thing about making employees work 24 hours a day? And why is nobody upset about it? No employee should be sleeping in the office.

Why are they in such a hurry? Sleeping at the office isn’t how government works.

calliesperson.bsky.social•68 days ago

Who said they want government to function?

rkfatheree.bsky.social•68 days ago

Not me. I am just stating the obvious so it stays obvious.

Is there enough crypto in the world for Musk to transfer Social Security funds into it and be the only one who knows the password?
