Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) uncovered millions of questionable entries in the Social Security database, including individuals listed as alive who are over 150 years old. Musk shared his findings on social media, humorously suggesting the presence of “vampires” collecting Social Security. Among the anomalies were records showing people aged 240 to 369 years old.
DOGE, which focuses on government inefficiencies, also revealed issues with inconsistent payment files between Social Security and the Treasury. These revelations come amid broader concerns over Social Security’s sustainability, with projections indicating the Trust Fund may be unable to pay full benefits after 2033.
Musk has also implemented aggressive budget cuts and reforms to address fraud.
