Elon Musk’s claims of widespread fraud in the Social Security system have caused controversy. He released statistics on X that suggests millions of active Social Security numbers belong to persons who are above 130, which is illogical. Musk claimed that the system is “the biggest fraud in history” because of its inadequate auditing, which permits false benefits.
Critics questioned his interpretation, and his findings went viral, leading to calls for an audit. Musk’s allegations have rekindled worries about government inefficiencies and the accuracy of Social Security data as the debate heats up.
