President Donald Trump And Elon Musk, talking to federal government, waste and abuse “, false because of millions of deaths, they are receiving social security benefits, experts told ABC news.
He began in Oval Office last week, since Musk-Comporters first started aggressive review of the federal government – he said that he found “crazy things” in the social security system, among others, who said “150 years old” People.
Millionaire has only built in this claim on social media, including millions of people who are marked as “alive” in the Social Security system, which are clearly unable.
“The sunset is genuine and many vampires are gathering social security,” he wrote in a single message.
Then Tuesday, when Trump Musk read the extensive list of news talk in Mar-A-Lago.
“Now, it’s a big thing, how many people were paid to the massive fraud,” Trump, expressing shock, told reporters.
Social Security policy experts and economists told ABC news is incorrect, saying that Musk is the wrong system of registers of the Agency.
The Social Security Administration (SSA) has many databases that exceeds those receiving payments, which are receiving payments.
According to Agency statisticsFrom 67 million people who receive Social Security benefits, only 0.1% are more than 100 years.
“So when they are thrown around dead dead, there are a total of 67 million? Are people really dead? The numbers are so hard. It’s not true, Social Security and disability Director of Policy in budget and policy preferences.
SSA makes incorrect payments, but not extended (approximately 1%) and most mistakes made are payments on living beneficiary, according to the main inspector of 2024 July 2024 inform. This report was found until 2015 to 2022, the SSA made $ 71.8 billion in wrong payments. The agency enables 1 trillion dollars at benefits every year.

Another database, experts said, is called numident and has a record of each person who has been assigned a Social Security number. There are people in the system, they said, they have died but have not registered deaths as they lived much earlier than the electronic records were established.
This data set, experts said, has nothing to do with monthly payments, but it is very likely that Musk are millions of people aged 100 and 369 in the system.
Justin Wolfers, Public Policy and Economic Policy at the University of Michigan, “transparency” is transparent to transparency or misleading “that data is not” showing their work. “
Muskla does not explicitly say when it receives the data being published on social networks.
However, the presence of information inside the SSA is also misleading or new, experts said.
The government knows that the numident system is in this way that they are mistakes in years, according to audits. Main 2023 inspectors inform 1920. They were born before the year 1920. He was born before the year.
The SSA decided not to address disagreements, how much would cost (a “limited benefit” that would cost (the rise in $ 9 billion) and the agency, “limited benefit.”
Romig, who worked in the Social Security Administration, has also been emphasized to prevent the controls repeatedly to prevent payments. The agency has a policy that was 115 years old to leave payments, and after a certain age they verify that older beneficiaries are using Medicare benefits.
This is not the first time Musk has spread false or misleading information. Last week in Oval Office, USAID spent $ 50 million spending the Trump Administration to Gaza and Hamas made a claim. In fact, condoms were sent to the province of Mozambique as part of a HIV prevention measure called Gaza.
“Well, first of all, some things I say will be wrong and should be corrected,” Musk said. “No one will go a thousand. We will make mistakes, but we will act quickly to correct mistakes.”
