“Musk eyes Social Security and benefit programs for cuts while claiming widespread fraud”

“ WASHINGTON (AP) — Elon Musk pushed debunked theories about Social Security on Monday while describing federal benefit programs as rife with fraud, suggesting they will be a primary target in his crusade to reduce government spending.”

“The billionaire entrepreneur, who is advising President Donald Trump, suggested that $500 billion to $700 billion in waste needed to be cut”

“Musk’s estimate for the level of fraud in entitlements far outpaces figures from watchdogs like Social Security’s inspector general, who previously said there was $71.8 billion in improper payments from fiscal years 2015 through 2022. That’s less than 1% of benefits paid out during that time period.“


Trump’s lying, what a shocker, when he says he won’t touch SS nor Medicare, there is a goal here to ultimately privatize it so he can sell it to one of his buddies. Look for Trump and Musk to not only continuing to lie about the fraud, but also purposely lessen the programs efficiency so that they can claim they are saving it by selling it, there is a reason Musk has dug deep into everyone’s personal data

Welcome to MAGA America

Poor anchovies, you are truly a moron. Join the other half dozen alt lefties here that have stopped posting and started day drinking.
 
Musk obviously is making it up since he has shown no study of SS payments. Only nitwits and fellow fraudsters take him seriously.
Of course he is making it up, just as Trump makes up his own facts, the goal is create a new portrait of SS/Medicare, to keep echoing bogus claims of fraud so that Trump can then say it needs to saved via privatization, and what better way to save it than handing it over to Musk
 
Excellent! Billions and billions of fraud going on there. Time to root it out!
Wrong, there isn’t “billions and billions” of fraud going on, expected fraud yes, estimates as less than 1%, Musk workers have admitted that themselves, Musk/Trump are flat out lying

You got to turn the channel every now and then
 

Trump is going after Social Security and Medicare​

“Musk eyes Social Security and benefit programs for cuts while claiming widespread fraud”
You are only going to be able to fool other undereducated leftists. Trump isn't going to touch either Social Security or Medicare. Your post is a complete waste of bandwidth.
 
It seems Trump has discovered his world doesn't object to him making it up. So he does, day after day, and has a Musk at his side making it up with him. If the chainsaw told us anything it is that they no longer even try to look credible.
 
FACT: The Social Security Administration made an estimated $72 billion in improper payments between 2015 and 2022. FACT: The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services estimated it made $140+ billion in improper payments in 2024 alone.

Is this info incorrect? https://www.whitehouse.gov/articles/2025/03/fact-check-president-trump-will-always-protect-social-security-medicare/#:~:text=FACT: The Social Security Administration,improper payments in 2024 alone.
That 71.8 billion in improper payments from fiscal years 2015 through 2022 represents less than 1% of benefits paid out during that time period, and is no where near the $500 to $700 billion Musk is lying about
