Overview

  • Elon Musk revealed that an individual is expected to be arrested for allegedly stealing and selling 400,000 Social Security numbers, though no official confirmation has been provided.
  • The alleged breach is being tied to voter fraud and illegal immigration, with Musk claiming it enabled non-citizens to vote using compromised identification.
  • Musk and the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) have faced criticism for their claims of widespread Social Security fraud, which experts say are exaggerated or misrepresented.
  • The Enumeration Beyond Entry (EBE) program, which automates SSN issuance for legal immigrants, has been cited as a source of the data Musk used, though it was initiated under Trump and expanded under Biden.
  • Critics warn that DOGE’s cost-cutting measures and lack of expertise may disrupt the Social Security Administration’s operations and undermine public trust.
