We should only be focusing on getting the fraud of 120+ year old people off the roles and any other fraudulent payees, and how these help ensure solvency.

Are there people receiving SS benefits who never paid SS taxes?

Murkowski, an anonymous Senator, a Rutgers professor, and Chuck Schumer want Musk to shut up.

This is the bizarro case where I agree with her. I’ve had a sr. friend ask me whether Trump will really cut SS, based on the news she’s seen on TV.

Better to act than talk with something that can so easily be misrepresented by the other side before it is actually done.

cutting unneeded employees and cutting fraud will not hurt social security, it was help SAVE SOCIAL SECURITY.

Anyone who says otherwise is a leftist fake news spewer.

So, how is she benefitting from Social Security fraud, or is she getting money from some NGO that has a side line engaging in SS fraud - you know, we’ll get you SS payments but you pay us 20%, or maybe it’s just 100% because there is no beneficiary except a bank account.

They need to make SS more efficient but don’t need to be vocal about it as the low info voters will get nervous when the fake news misrepresents what is occurring.

My aunt, who was born in 1908, worked in business in NYC her whole life and was married to a man with a seat on the stock exchange, said SS was a Pnzi scheme from the beginning. She was always right about these things. However, anyone using common sense can see that this is true

You get to her age—and see how smart you are.

There are a lot of low-info voters out there.

Kash and Dan should begin an immediate investigation of exactly WHO was getting the SSA payments for "Americans" over 105+ years old.

See if that money was being kicked back to any Republicans.

Enough is enough.

Yes, Musk is not really that good with talking.
Some stuff should be done “politically”. Let do the talking to others.

Scaring seniors is time proven Dems trick. Just behind taxing the rich.

Ross K. Baker, a professor of political science at Rutgers University: "going after Social Security ... is poking a stick into a hornet’s nest."

As someone who has paid into SS, like every working person in the US, for my entire life, I want a stake through the heart of all the fraud and abuse of SS. However bad a deal it was, I want to be able to collect my fair share. I am happy to show up or mail in my bonas fides if it helps eliminate the crooks and collaborationists ripping off the treasury. Oh, and how much federal funding is Rutgers getting? They shouldn't hire professors of Political Science who think it politick to defend fraud.
