Newsflash: bureaucrats of all shades hate Trump. Guess why?View attachment 409350
The rightie British tabloid press has turned against Trump and mocks him as a dyed, castrated poodle of Poodle-tin. "TDS" has spread to righties as well.
Elon again pushing out wildly inaccurate stuff designed to trigger supporters emotionally.
His claim that tens of millions of people over 100 receiving social security is patently false.
He misread the data bases. In fact in June 2024 social security paid out less than $150m to people 99 or older. That was less than 0.2% of all social security payments.
The "150 year olds" was a data error used as a placeholder. That error was discovered by an IG in 2015 and fixed. That report is available. Musk did not read it. The report is available on the internet. It's OIG report A-06-14-34030, dated March of 2015.
Yes, there are some dead people who have no family to report the death, or have a family committing fraud to keep the payments coming. But the 2015 report said only 13 people on the payroll aged 112 or older.
But tweeting inflammatory lies seems to work better.
we identified approximately 6.5 million numberholders age 112 or older who did not have death information on the Numident.
SSA issued approximately 6.4 million of the SSNs to process benefit claims filed before March 1972, including 48,746 SSNs issued to process death claims. SSA had input dates of death on approximately 1.4 million nonbeneficiaries’ payment records but had not recorded the death information on the Numident. SSA had terminated payments and input dates of death on 410,074 beneficiaries’ payment records but had not recorded the death information on the Numident.
We also determined that thousands of the SSNs could have been used to commit identity fraud
Recommendations
We made four recommendations for corrective action. SSA agreed with two and disagreed with two.
Of course they did, now Trump and the media (including the media he says is fake news) are making it look like it was the Democrats only.the right does not try to push DEI onto Columbia or Serbia or any other foreign nation
no doubt republicans have over spent on shit in the past
it could get interesting when Musk start looking into pentagon spending
Fixed it for you.However here is no question the democrats and republicans do not want anyone looking at the books
they are outraged anyone would dare look at the corruption, but silent on the corruption itself
so very telling
Right because during Trump's first term, he stayed quiet on the issue and "cleaning the swamp" along with spending.they are the wrong side of the moral fence here
the democrats were the ones caught with their hands in the cookie jar
It's why a lot of people don't like him.Time will tell, he is quite unpredictable
just to be clear Trumps personality can be very repulsive, he is mean spirited , nasty , vindictive
On the surface it looks like a plus, but others will still benefit and I'm not alluding to the taxpayers.the immediate focus is on shrinking the size of govt
that should be a plus for every tax payer
I'd put out an accurate report with all the nuance in that report if I was being hired by the US government to do so. Elon did not. He has a duty to be accurate given his hire and possibly his salary. Yet this was available to him. That's either incompetence or malevolence. No other conclusion.
the truth of the matter likely lies somewhere between what Musk/ Trump have implied and your claim of a nothing burger
that was 2015
so defiantly worth the effort to ensure SS checks are being sent to the correct people and only to the correct people
Again, thank you for not trying to disguise what you are.No. We can either be successful or the good guy. We can’t do both.
Internet memes.What do you mean 4T disappeared?
I am sure some people voted for this.And no one voted for this.
I don't know that for sure.And you are naive for thinking that it is what you want him to do, because what you want him to do is not what he is actually doing.
I think the current version of the story Elon's telling is 4.7 trillion.$4 trillion in payments from the Treasury that can’t be traced that DOGE found.
Yes, that's quite clear.What you call fascism is what I voted for.
The people that will get hit the hardest are marginalized people as they have poor credit and these banks may prey on them during interim. But so be it.
You don't actually know this.The hypocrisy that Dems have more billionaires supporting them.
Projecting your own criminal nature on others isn't wise.To be honest, if I was involved in those administrations I would totally be for this. Funnel money through the countless agencies we have so nobody knows what is going on.
His "transparency" is there as a fake thing for people who want to lie to themselves or others to point to.Elon tweets are chock-a-block full of nonsense. That's not transparent. He won't disclose his conflicts of interest. That's not transparent. Whats he doing with all the private info he took? That's not transparent.
It's worked very well for both Musk and Trump.But tweeting inflammatory lies seems to work better.
LaRue comes down in favor of malevolance there, since he is strongly on the side of Elon not being incompetent.That's either incompetence or malevolence. No other conclusion.
There is a reason Trump fired so many IGs.Yes, the report points put things that needed fixing. These were brought to congress. They (a republican congress mind you) refused to fund the work). But thats what IG's are for. The congress history act on those reports.
There is no need to tell the truth when you have a propaganda machine and a lot of contacts.Btw the inflammatory inaccurate tweet has been routine by Elon. He published a Pic of a contract he canceled and saved 8 billion $. The contract was for 8 million.
Again, routine.
