Speaking with Fox News on Thursday, Elon Musk and members of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) explained their agenda for revamping the Social Security Administration.
While mainstream media and Democrat politicians claim the administration is going to “cut” Social Security, Musk and the DOGE team clarified their goal is to ensure citizens “legitimately get benefits” and to protect them “from fraud that they experience on a routine basis.”
For example, DOGE software engineer Aram Moghaddassi told Fox’s Brett Baier that an estimated 40% of calls to the Social Security Administration come from fraudsters seeking to have payments rerouted to their account.
🚨 HOLY CRAP! Elon Musk and DOGE just revealed a whopping **40%** of calls to Social Security are fraudsters.

Musk also pushed back against criticism that his team is going to cut benefits for retirees by explaining that eliminating fraud will result in Social Security recipients getting MORE money.
“As a result of DOGE, recipients of Social Security will receive more money, not less money,” he stated.
During another portion of the interview, Musk described one scheme used by Social Security fraudsters where they collect payments for a deceased person by stealing their identity and claiming they’re still alive.
“One of the key tricks that the fraudsters pull is that they will use the fact that someone is marked as alive, that the Social Security number is marked as alive in social security, and then get disability and unemployment insurance for a dead person. Because the databases don’t talk to each other, all they got from Social Security was like, ‘Is this person alive?’ ‘Yes.’ They’re not alive, the person is falsely marked as alive in Social Security. A fraudster can now get unemployment and disability from a dead person. This is happening all the time, at scale.”
In response to a post on 𝕏, Musk said the amount of fraud taking place in the Social Security system is the “craziest thing” he’s “ever seen.”
The media can spin the DOGE agenda all it wants, but when Social Security recipients begin to see their checks getting bigger most Americans will have no choice but to admit the department is working for the benefit of We The People.
