Elon Musk Alleges Theft of 400,000 Social Security Numbers

Musk links the breach to voter fraud as DOGE's claims of widespread Social Security fraud face mounting legal and expert scrutiny.

Elon Musk announced an imminent arrest related to the alleged theft and sale of 400,000 Social Security numbers, though no official confirmation has been provided.
DOGE claims the stolen Social Security numbers were used to facilitate voter fraud, further fueling contentious allegations of systemic issues in Social Security administration.
A federal judge recently ruled that DOGE's access to Social Security Administration data likely violated privacy laws, halting further data sharing and raising concerns over DOGE's practices.
Experts and critics argue that DOGE's findings on non-citizens receiving Social Security numbers misinterpret legal processes, emphasizing that such numbers are issued for work authorization and tax compliance.
The Enumeration Beyond Entry program, which automates Social Security issuance for legal immigrants, began under the Trump administration, complicating claims of partisan intent.
