Elon Musk DOGE team finds millions in Social Security database aged 100 to 159
Elon Musk recently took to social media to raise concerns about the Social Security database, pointing out that millions of people listed in the database are recorded as centenarians with the death field set to FALSE. In a post on X, Musk humorously speculated, “Maybe Twilight is real and there are a lot of vampires collecting Social Security,” accompanied by rolling on the floor laughing emojis.
The tech billionaire shared a chart showing staggering numbers of individuals listed with ages of 100 and higher. Surprisingly, the data revealed over 20 million people in the database with ages exceeding 100, including more than 3.9 million in the 130-139 age range, over 3.5 million in the 140-149 range, and more than 1.3 million in the 150-159 range.
Upon reaching out to the Social Security Administration for comment, Fox News Digital uncovered discrepancies between the data in the Social Security database and the U.S. Census Bureau figures. While the 2020 census reported more than 331 million people in the U.S., the count of individuals aged 100 and older was just over 80,000.
Musk expressed bewilderment at the convoluted logic flow diagram of the Social Security system, stating that the payment files between Social Security and the Treasury contain significant inconsistencies that have not been reconciled. He emphasized, “The payment files that move between Social Security and Treasury have significant inconsistencies that are not reconciled. It’s wild.”
In a separate post, Musk raised concerns about the abundance of “eligible” Social Security numbers compared to the actual population of the United States, suggesting that this discrepancy may constitute the largest fraud in history.
President Donald Trump appointed Musk to lead the Department of Government Efficiency, a task force aimed at uncovering waste, fraud, and abuse within the federal government. This initiative aligns with Musk’s ongoing efforts to promote transparency and accountability across various sectors.
As the discussion surrounding the accuracy and integrity of the Social Security database continues, Musk’s observations serve as a reminder of the importance of maintaining accurate and reliable data for government programs. Stay tuned for further updates on this developing story.
