Social Security Rocked By DOGE Investigation, Commissioner Quits Amid Controversy

Elon Musk’s government reform initiative has shaken Social Security to its core, leading to the sudden resignation of Acting Commissioner Michelle King. The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has uncovered tens of millions of questionable Social Security records, including some beneficiaries listed as 150 years old or more.

The discovery, which Musk [revealed] in an Oval Office press briefing with President Donald Trump, has [renewed] concerns over mismanagement and fraud within the agency. “We’ve got people in there that are about 150 years old,” Musk said. “I think they’re probably dead, or they should be very famous.”

A 2023 audit [found] that nearly 19 million people were listed in Social Security’s database as 100 years old or older, even though only a fraction of them were actually alive. While most of these inactive records reportedly do not receive benefits, DOGE is [investigating] whether any have been exploited for fraudulent payouts.

King’s resignation [comes] as DOGE expands its efforts to access government financial data. Reports indicate that she [refused] to comply with requests for recipient records, which include Social Security numbers and Medicare information. The White House has [nominated] financial executive Frank Bisignano to replace her.

Meanwhile, DOGE’s scrutiny of Social Security is part of a broader campaign [targeting] financial mismanagement across federal agencies. Investigators recently [flagged] over $4.7 trillion in untraceable Treasury Department transactions and are [pushing] for major accountability reforms.

Musk remains [focused] on uncovering inefficiencies and fraud. “Your tax dollars need to be spent wisely on the things that matter to the people,” he said, adding that reform efforts are about fairness and common sense.
