DOGE or DOPE?
DOGE Is Pressuring Social Security to Make Another Massive Cut – New Republic
“At the SSA, Musk and DOGE have alleged that ‘tens of millions‘ of dead people are receiving Social Security payments, but this was quickly disproven. Still, Trump and Musk have continued to double down on the claims, with the tech mogul–fascism enthusiast calling Social Security a ‘Ponzi scheme’ and repeatedly urging massive cuts.”
Social Security scraps far-reaching cuts to phone services after Post report – msn/WaPost
“…billionaire Elon Musk has continued sounding the alarm that 150-year-olds — and even people who have lived more than three centuries — are somehow receiving tens of millions of dollars in taxpayer money, an implausible set of claims he has made without evidence over the past month. Musk spoke about the issue as recently as Monday on Fox News, and Trump amplified his allegations last week during his address to Congress.
“The false assertions about dead people are only the latest example of Musk, Trump and their allies exaggerating or even fabricating allegations of fraud to justify their ongoing efforts to dramatically slash government staff members and services. The anti-fraud campaign at Social Security also mirrors a long-standing obsession by Musk, whose takeover of the platform then called Twitter — as well as his argument to exit the deal to buy it — was premised on a similar quest to root out fraudulent bots that masqueraded as real human beings on the service.”
Dear DOPE: We found a document with 10 more dead guys living past 100 who could be cheating. While you’re at it, be sure to check for spousal benefits…
