A cursory review of Social Security records by Musk’s department has revealed that the social security safety net program is paying benefits to 150-year-olds. The businessman noted that many of those entries listed for Social Security recipients had no identifying information.

“This might be the biggest fraud in history,” Musk stated, according to a report by RT.  

In a post on X (formerly Twitter) on Monday, the United States-based billionaire noted that “there are far more ‘eligible’ social security numbers than there are citizens in the USA.” Musk also shared a post by an X user suggesting that 394,943,364 people are currently receiving social security payments. That is more than the total U.S. population, which amounts to 334 million.
