It is just sheer luck. I mean he has Tesla, X, Space X, Starlink and Neuralink but that is just dumb luck.

DOGE Plans to Rebuild SSA Code Base in Months, Risking Benefits and System Collapse
Social Security systems contain tens of millions of lines of code written in COBOL, an archaic programming language. Safely rewriting that code would take years—DOGE wants it done in months.www.wired.com
What could possibly go wrong?
Other then benefits not going out to 65 million seniors because DOGE didn't properly vet their code.
Musk can't even get X to stay online because they are making silly mistakes with coding.
Oh gee, updating COBOL code from 1965 running on an IBM-360 from the same year is a "bad thing." Because HATE TWUMP.
You idiots are pathetic.
You think the 150 to 300 year old recipients will come forward to complain?
The current system is antiquated. Dozens of COBOL programmers will lose their federal jobs, and have no skills in anything from this millennium.
No one else in the world has managed to reuse a first stage booster and when we needed to rescue two astronauts that Boeing stranded in space who did we turn to?
They could learn to coal mine.
So don't send them payments until you know how old they are and if they are eligible for payments.
Hey they can vote so....

Exactly. My husband is a software engineer/systems architect. He worked in the health care insurance sector on various claims systems. In some ways those systems are similar to those of the SSA for beneficiaries' claims and payments. You can't just switch from Cobol or C+ to something else. The entire system would need to be rewritten from scratch. This would entail thousands of coding hours, plus thousands more for testing before the old system data is imported. His last employer, which administered workman's comp insurers' claims, was working on doing a similar switch. His team worked on it for THREE YEARS. It wasn't close to completion when he retired. Obviously the SSA's systems are far more complex. If a change would streamline and create efficiency and is done correctly, that would be a very good thing. But as others have pointed out, Musk and his Muskrats can't even get Twitter/X to function without crashes.

Apparently you think if he's skilled at one thing, he's skilled at everything.
He’s skilled at enough things to be a multi-billionaire, Miss Marple.

I personally don't look at having a boatload of money as a measure of success, Mr. Earl. I'd rather he used his money to cure cancer.

President Musk is running around like a chicken with his head cut off and making all kinds of grandiose pronouncements because he has to justify why we even need a DOGE.
Well he runs Tesla, SapceX, X, Neuralink, and Starlink, and he owned PayPal...so.....
Nifty had to go pee 3 times last night. He got up twice.
Nobody I know who collects disability has ever had a payment gone missing. Their SS income always arrives on the day it's supposed to, and all problems can be sorted out by a trip to the local SS offices (which Trump is closing down). It doesn't strike me as a massively faulty system on the verge of collapse.

Your values are fucked up. Putin is one of the wealthiest men on the planet. Does that make him a good person, a good leader, a good friend, a good husband, a good neighbor, a good physician, a good scientist?
He is trying to help the paralyzed people walk again. So I bet they think that is pretty important.

I'm going to guess that it won't.... Why are you being so negative??
