Recent efforts by President Donald Trump and Elon Muskâs 'Department of Government Efficiency' (DOGE) are significantly impacting the Social Security Administration (SSA) amidst alarming reports of deterioration in service quality. Users face website failures, disconnected calls, and extended wait times, while the SSA reduces workforce size and operational offices. As trust in Social Security diminishes, there are fears that Musk's team seeks to dismantle the program, potentially leading to privatization, despite the fact that Social Security is a critical income source for millions.
In recent months, people trying to reach the Social Security Administration (SSA) have encountered website crashes, automatic hang-ups and hours-long waits on the phone or in person.
As DOGE makes Social Security increasingly nonfunctional, trust in the enormously popular program will erode, allowing Musk and his allies the opportunity to further weaken or privatize aspects of the program.
