Musk is coming after entitlements now

[Anonymous]

If an illegal immigrant is collecting Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, or welfare, should this payment be stopped?

Illegal immigrants are not collecting any of those things.

They aren’t Dumbo. That’s made up the made up bs they are telling you.

Here’s a question for you—where is all the money Elon is “saving” going exactly?

If he's going after the fraud, that's perfectly legit.

Didn't he say someone had been receiving social security for more than 100 years? But it was the spouse receiving the social security for the dead husband?

His Tweets are often lies, so I can't take him seriously. He also is not an expert in all of these areas yet thinks he is never wrong.

Get rid of the fraud. I am all for it.

The funniest part is that MAGA clowns are so ignorant, they have no clue what they're doing. It's clear Elon and his so called genius crew of DOGE coders have no idea what they're doing.

Social security runs on COBOL language. The dating system is strange, and the entire thing is also based on standards from 1875 - which is exactly 150 years ago.

Thus, if you don't understand the code and how COBOL stores dating information, you will get back a zero - which defaults the date to 150 years old.

Isn't amazing this genius team of DOGE, who could be misinterpreting errors in code they don't understand at all, is messing around in the treasury changing code written in COBOL along with meddling in everything from social security and Medicare to nuclear weapons and personnel files for everyone in intelligence?

Highlighting your post because it matters.

Good. Stop sponging off of others, grow up and make your own way in life. Show some frickin pride in yourselves

How is SS entitlement? We literally pay into it over many, many years?

Yet another dumba$$ who has no idea of how our government works. ^^

Oh please do explain to me how it works!

Seriously. The nerve of this guy. Some people have dedicated their whole lives to serving the public, but sure, Elon Musk and his posse of teens can waltz in and understand all of it better than anyone else in ten minutes. The arrogance and narcissism is so incredibly toxic.

Elon doesn't have savings.

It's too early to know whether those efforts will also ensnare legitimate payments, so getting hysterical about seniors and children who receive payments is premature. Outrage may be justified later, or maybe not at all.

Then, he could do it the proper way through Congress instead of making decisions outside of the rules and regulations.

Drop them off in Musk's front yard. He can deal with them from there.

Good idea. Test drive a Tesla and then return it with them inside.

But he will find money to have the government buy his trash heap cars.

I voted for Kamala and I think what Musk is doing is illegal, traitorous, evil, etc etc. But we also have to have a serious talk about the future of social security and Medicare in this country. As it is it is simply not sustainable.

100% agreed. Our current deficit spending habit is unsustainable. We need to solve it through some combination of tax revenue increases, spending cuts (including cuts to Social Security, the military, and Medicare, which are the biggest expenses), and inflation.

I hate Trump and the way in which he is going about all of this, but I do appreciate that the conversation has at least been started, for the first time in many years. Unfortunately, I am concerned that the fact that this purported concern comes from the Trump administration will lead voters to dismiss it as the rantings of a crazed lunatic instead of an actual problem in need of being solved.

Ultimately, this is (or should be) the responsibility of Congress to solve, not the president.

You sound reasonable, but they are not. They want to take over and make the rest of us poor.

They are following a plan from Curtis Yarvin.

Ok I will play. After all the layoffs, firings, and cut funding…where is the evidence of fraud?

There is zero evidence of fraud so far. Musk has found none. Not a single penny. You're not going to see fraud in payments data. You'll need to do investigations, get into the contracts, communication reviews, site visits, etc. It's extremely time consuming and complex.

Have you seen how many doctors get prosecuted for Medicare fraud every year?

Oh, you mean this was getting prosecuted before Elon showed up? In that case, who needs Elon?
(And yes, I know about such prosecutions. Local provider had to pay back $40k when it turned out a physician had been doing televisits from overseas and also billing for multiple visits at a time, such as when he had a visit with a family).
What pp is saying is that there is no way Elon has found actual fraud based on what he is doing.

Right. We don't need Elon.

Why do we need some foreigner meddling in the US payment systems?

There is not wide scale fraud. He is the fing fraud. Get it through your skull.

And you know this from your own detailed examination of the data? Hardly. Why not wait and see, or is it too tempting to be reduced to hysterics in advance, just in case?

What's the point of a wait and see approach when we already know:

-He's misrepresented items from USAID - i.e. misrepresented things that were actually funded from the State Dept
-He retweeted a fake video with false information about USAID paying millions to celebrities
-He cherry picks and misrepresents small percentage budget items, claims "lots of fraud" but always fails to put all the expenditures out there which is anti-transparency rather than actual transparency, by definition

He gets players from China to play a video game for him (and lies about it) so that he can claim he's the best player in the world. If he can't even tell the truth about that, what won't he lie about?

Elon is a loser. I'm beginning to think he's a talented con man.
