150 year old recipient receives Social Security

February 11, 2025, Elon Musk, the tech billionaire and co-head of the newly established Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), made waves during a press conference in the Oval Office. Addressing concerns about fraud in federal programs, Musk quipped about Social Security payments allegedly being sent to individuals who would be 150 years old. "I think they're probably dead, is my guess, or they should be very famous, one of the two," he remarked, suggesting that such cases likely involve deceased individuals or erroneous records. The statement has ignited a firestorm of discussion on social media platforms like X, with users expressing shock, skepticism, and calls for accountability in the Social Security system.
