Elon Musk, the wealthiest individual globally, is actively targeting Social Security with misleading claims regarding fraud and waste within the program. During a recent event in Wisconsin, Musk made several unsupported allegations about unauthorized recipients, including dead individuals and immigrants. He cited a statistic about fraudulent calls to the Social Security Administration, misinterpreting a specific fraud type statistic. The criticism aligns with Musk's broader agenda through his Department of Government Efficiency to expose wastefulness in federal programs, although the accuracy of his statements remains highly questionable.
Elon Musk has continued his campaign to aggressively undercut Social Security, leveling baseless and often misleading attacks on the insurance program.
Mr. Musk appears to have misunderstood a statistic from the Social Security Administration, stating that 40 percent of direct deposit fraud occurred via calls to the agency.
