Musk Exposes Startling Social Security Data
Elon Musk, in his role as head of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), has revealed shocking discrepancies in the U.S. Social Security database. The tech mogul posted findings on X, formerly Twitter, showing millions of individuals recorded as centenarians with their “death field set to FALSE” in the system.
According to a chart shared by Musk, over 20 million people are listed as 100 years or older, with significant numbers in age ranges 130-139, 140-149, and even 150-159. This data starkly contrasts with the 2020 U.S. Census, which recorded just over 80,000 individuals aged 100 or older among a population of 331 million.

In his characteristic style, Musk injected humor into the serious matter.
“According to the Social Security database, these are the numbers of people in each age bucket with the death field set to FALSE! Maybe Twilight is real and there are a lot of vampires collecting Social Security,” Musk said.
But this is no laughing matter.
Musk’s findings suggest there may be more eligible Social Security numbers than U.S. citizens, raising red flags about possible widespread fraud.
And for some reason, Democrats don’t want him exposing it. Makes you think, right?
The DOGE team’s investigation revealed many centenarians with active Social Security numbers, despite being recorded as deceased. This inconsistency has prompted Musk to call for a comprehensive audit of the Social Security agency, describing it as a potential “massive fraud red flag.”
“The logic flow diagram for the Social Security system looks INSANE. No one person actually knows how it works. The payment files that move between Social Security and Treasury have significant inconsistencies that are not reconciled. It’s wild,” Musk explained.
Musk also pointed out fundamental flaws in the system’s logic and significant inconsistencies between Social Security and Treasury payment files.
We should find out more soon, but be prepared: we might be about to discover the biggest fraud in the history of the American government.
