According to the data, to which the Department of Government Efficiency (Doge) reached by Muska, over 16 million records are people over 150 years old. There was even one 240-year-old and one 360-year-old in the base. Each of them in the Social Security Administration system, the American counterpart, was not marked as a deceased person.
Elon Musk enters the pensions of Americans. “The greatest fraud in history”
At a conference in a White House, he emphasized that these “crazy data” indicate that the total number of entitled to, i.e. pensions, family pensions and insurance of people with disabilities, by 60 million exceeds the real population of the United States. – How many of these people received the benefit? Because if it is so, it is a mass fraud – summed up Trump.
Maybe ‘twilight’ is real and there are a lot of vampires receiving benefits
– Musk said in the post on portal X. In the next he emphasized that “this may be the greatest abuse in history.”
Millions of dead are to receive a pension. The case is more complicated
However, the matter is more complicated. As emphasized by Adam SokoĊowski, who runs the profile “reports from Putin’s Poland”, almost almost 10 years ago, in September 2015, the Social Security Administration introduced a system that automatically block the payment of benefits for anyone who is more than 115 years old. In addition, this agency is regularly controlled and was also controlled during the previous Trump presidency.
In July 2024, the Federal Agency presented a report, which shows that in 2015-2022 $ 8.6 trillion of benefits was paid, of which 71.8 billion, less than 1 percent, was paid wrong. It was emphasized, however, that most of them were overpayments for living people. In January 2025, as he reminds “Associated Press”, the State Treasury recovered $ 31 million, which went to dead people, but this concerned not only benefits paid by Social Security Administration.
The problem is also how the base is created. The social security system, as to this day, banking systems around the world, is based on a fairly archaic language programming language. He has problems using dates. In the case of missing or incomplete birthday dates, he assigns 1875 from which he can additionally subtract age. This explains, from where in the database of so many 150-year-olds and older people. “You should definitely prosecute all incorrect payments that will be detected, but let’s not pretend that there is the biggest financial problem of the system here,” commented Chuck Blahouse, a senior research strategist at the Mercatus Center at George Mason’s University in an interview with “Associated Press”.
