Overview
- Elon Musk and Antonio Gracias presented findings showing 2.1 million Social Security numbers were issued to non-citizens in 2024, a significant increase from previous years.
- They allege the Biden administration facilitated this surge to reshape voting demographics, though critics question the accuracy and motivations behind these claims.
- DOGE's investigation also uncovered 20 million deceased individuals marked as alive in the Social Security database, highlighting longstanding inefficiencies.
- A federal judge ruled DOGE's access to Social Security Administration data likely violated privacy laws, pausing further data sharing.
- Experts note that non-citizens can legally obtain Social Security numbers through work authorization, contributing to the tax base but not granting voting rights.
