Former Social Security Administration commissioner Martin O'Malley criticized President Trump and Elon Musk during a CNN interview, labeling their claims regarding Social Security fraud as unfounded and exaggerated. O'Malley referred to Musk's assertions, which suggested that deceased individuals were receiving checks, as laughable and disconnected from reality. He explained that while administrative errors do occur, largely due to intricate regulations and the handling of a vast number of recipients, the issue is not as severe as represented by Musk and Trump's comments. O'Malley urged for factual accountability in discussion surrounding the agency.
O'Malley challenged Musk's claims, stating, 'He has no idea what he's talking about there. There is not like a zombie apocalypse of people...receiving checks.'
Refuting Musk and Trump's assertions, O'Malley emphasized, 'more often, we have to restore benefits when we erroneously cut them off when somebody moves out of country,' illustrating a common administrative error.
