Elon Musk's advocacy for federal cost-cutting is impacting the Social Security Administration (SSA) amid a growing number of beneficiaries. As SSA struggles with a reduced workforce and heightened in-person ID requirements, beneficiaries express concern over Social Security's future. Baby boomers like Debra Sutherland emphasize the necessity of strengthening funding and improving customer service, with Sutherland bluntly stating that removing Musk might improve the program. Musk argues that DOGE's involvement aims to modernize the SSA while combating fraud, claiming that it could enhance benefits for legitimate recipients.
"There is not a day that I wake up and wonder when the government is going to mess with the only income I receive."
"The only way to make Social Security better is to remove Elon Musk..."
"Legitimate people, as a result of the work of DOGE, will receive more Social Security, not less."
"The Social Security Administration's infrastructure is wearing thin thanks to recent budget cuts and a rapidly growing pool of beneficiaries."
