Elon Musk: DOGE Crap Gladiator
Elon Musk & DOGE claimed that 40% of phone calls to Social Security were fraud. He set up a system to track calls.
Musk found no fraud, but he did delay Social Security processing for clients.
Source of this story is from the NEW REPUBLIC here.
Highlights: After months of baseless claims about “extreme levels of fraud” within the SSA - even going so far as calling it the “biggest Ponzi Scheme of all time” —Musk & DOGE found only two likely fraudulent claims out of over 110,000 at SSA as reported to Nextgov.
Musk instructed the SSA agency to install anti-fraud checks for benefit claims made over the phone. That policy impeded the agency’s retirement claim processing, while finding less than 1% of calls were potentially fraudulent.
The two likely fraudulent cases make it a rate of .0018%. Thus, Musk & DOGE found virtually no fraud yet made the system integral to our country’s inner workings less efficient in the final outcome.
The SSA is now weighing changing the policy entirely stated in their internal document: “No significant fraud has been detected from the flagged cases.”
Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) told Nextgov: “The Trump-Musk Social Security takeover has only meant more chaos and confusion for Americans. Every one of DOGE’s so-called ‘mistakes’ is a backdoor cut to people’s benefits. There’s nothing efficient about making it harder for people to access the checks they’ve earned and are owed.”

My 2 Cents: The only fraud in this whole Trump directed Musk-DOGE government clean-up act is the mess that they are leaving behind.
The massive firings and Agency shutdowns and such have achieved only one thing: A COMPLEE CHAOTIC MESS of our total Federal Government structure and system.
We will long regret that this was allowed to happen and the blame lies squarely on Trump and the
scaredy-cats in the GOP House and GOP Senate that did not intervene and stop his total inflicted disarray, disorder, and pandemonium from day-one.
We may recover but the damage in between then and now will cost billions and numerous lives as well.
“The Art of Con” is in full bloom.
Thanks for stopping by.
