Elon Musk Announces Imminent Arrest Over 400,000 Stolen Social Security Numbers

Musk links the alleged data breach to voter fraud and illegal immigration, intensifying scrutiny of DOGE's Social Security reforms.

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.
