Three of the Most Outrageous DOGE Findings

DOGE uncovered three findings so outrageous, even Elon Musk said he “had to read it several times” to believe it.

First, they found that 24,500 people listed as over 115 years old somehow claimed $59 million in unemployment benefits.

Next, 28,000 toddlers between the ages of 1 and 5 were paid out a staggering $254 million.

And the wildest part? 9,700 people with birthdates more than 15 years in the future managed to claim $69 million.

“In one case, someone with a birthday in 2154 claimed $41k,” the DOGE account reported.

Musk reacted on X, saying, “Your tax dollars were going to pay fraudulent unemployment claims for fake people born in the future! This is so crazy that I had to read it several times before it sank in.”

In a separate post, Musk wrote:

“The oldest living American is 114 years old, so it is safe to say that anyone 115 or older is collecting ‘unemployment’ due to being dead.” He added that there were no sanity checks at all—nothing to catch claims from people who were impossibly young or impossibly old from cashing in on unemployment benefits that should have never been approved in the first place.

The system was so broken, it allowed payments to go out to people who either hadn’t been born yet or had already passed away—without raising a single red flag.
