Summary

Elon Musk’s cost-cutting team has targeted the Social Security Administration (SSA), prompting the acting director’s resignation.

Musk falsely claimed millions of centenarians were fraudulently receiving benefits, a claim debunked by government watchdogs. Trump echoed the baseless allegations, raising fears of cuts to the popular program.

Critics warn Musk is undermining trust in Social Security to justify reductions. Former SSA officials caution that his intervention could disrupt payments to millions.

    Be very careful with your accusations. No one wants to deal with death threats, doxxing, swatting, etc when they have a family to protect.

    "Michelle King resigned after she refused to provide DOGE staffers at the Social Security Administration with access to sensitive information. "

    This is the natural result of pushing back against this insanity. She would have been fired and indeed Donald Cuck claims she was.

      Unfortunately you are correct. It is just disheartening to see so many people leave and seemingly not fight back against tyranny. But society has everyone so worried about cost of living and student loans etc it is harder to stand for your beliefs and morals.
