    This is a PSA to American users. Log onto SSA.gov and download a full record of your social security contribution history. If you have or have ever had a student loan, log on to studentaid.gov. You can export a full record of any loans you’ve ever taken out, your balance over time, and any forgiveness you’ve received. Do this for any interactions you’ve had with the federal government. Make sure you have copies of your old tax returns as well. The federal government can no longer be considered a reliable steward of official records.

    Your student loan balance is unlikely to go “poof,” but any forgiveness you received or past payments just might.

    Oh look, the world’s richest man being even more direct than most billionaires about taking what little the poor have away from them. There is only one of him and there are lots and lots of poor people. Maybe it’s time to remind him of this fact.

        Americans only enjoy the truth if you disguise it as fiction. So many movies about people coming together to solve problems for the sake of the greater good. So little of this in life.

        Maybe we could advertise for extras in an epic movie about Americans revolting against fascism, and then stand by with cameras shouting “action!” while the people get the job done.

      Someone needs to blue shell all of his money away and deport him back to South Africa.

      Would be a shame if Elon’s hack on the treasury left a backdoor open that any good hacker can access, because then it could be used against him and his billionaire/robber baron friends.

        Let’s be honest. This is treason. This is a capital offense. He’s never getting deported. The only scenarios for Musk are “he gets away with it completely” or “he gets the Mussolini treatment.”

      if only… the administration is run by greedy power-hungry asswipes that don’t and never will need social security, they just want to drain the coffers–for themselves. the republicants in congress and sitting on high benches mostly don’t, either, and are also accomplices or too scared of their own fucking shadow to do anything to stop even this.

      Well, that’s a very stupid take. This is what the elitists want - getting people to turn on one another, including one age range against another…

      Don’t fall for it. The boomers paid into SS and are completely entitled to it, just like everyone else after them, too.

        Dude, I’ve got another 30 plus years before I could start to collect. There’s not a chance in hell that it’s going to exist when I’m eligible. It’s all these old fucks that dug the grave for us all, they all get a nice golden parachute to ride out the rest of their short lives. We are the ones that get left with the mess. AmeriKKKa deserves trump and musk 100 percent.

          If the cons don’t fuck it up (and they want to do that), you absolutely would collect. And any “shortfall” would be easily remedied by lifting that regressive cap on it.

          I’ve been hearing all of my life that it won’t be there when I retire. And the way the cons are gunning for it, I now do doubt I’ll collect. But if it wasn’t for people trying to ACTIVELY destroy it, it would be just fine.

            Hey I’ve done my best, voted for the not cons, voted in my local elections. I’m heavily outnumbered here in FL. I’ve just lost all faith in this country. Honestly prefer it to see it burn now so the people that voted for this shit get punished before they die and leave it purely on our shoulders.

      You should fight to get the money you paid back instead of just rolling over and letting them rob you.

          It was always a substitute for paying to maintain your parents or grandparents in retirement. Unless you’re an immigrant, you’ve already been getting it back.

              The money they paid was so that their parents and grandparents had a little something going into retirement.

                  They’re paid out according to their contributions. But they’re paid with money current workers are paying in. It is technically a ponzi, but was designed to be sustainable instead of promising reckless profits.

                Exactly. It’s a system that works almost entirely as a pay-as-you-go system, with each generation paying for the retirement of their elders.
