Elon Musk and Antonio Gracias claimed to find significant information regarding noncitizens receiving Social Security numbers from 2021 to 2024, featuring a jump from 270,000 to over 2 million. They suggested this influx signals fraud and illegal immigration. However, their interpretations were misleading, as the data reflects legal immigrants receiving Social Security numbers to pay taxes. Experts clarify that the Social Security system operates correctly under existing laws, contradicting Musk's claims of a deliberate effort to import illegal immigrants and alter voting demographics.
The data showing a dramatic rise in noncitizens receiving Social Security numbers from 2021 to 2024 was portrayed by Musk and Gracias as nefarious.
Gracias misled by suggesting that all noncitizens who received Social Security numbers were illegally in the U.S. and receiving federal benefits.
