The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), led by Elon Musk, has uncovered shocking inconsistencies in Social Security records, with millions of beneficiaries listed as over 100 years old — including some recorded as 150. The revelation has thrown the agency into crisis, culminating in the resignation of Acting Commissioner Michelle King.
According to the Social Security database, these are the numbers of people in each age bucket with the death field set to FALSE!

'A LOT OF VAMPIRES': Millions of Americans listed between ages 100 and 159 in critical US database, @elonmusk says. The billionaire blasted the agency's "INSANE" system. https://t.co/rtzXYTtQLV pic.twitter.com/IvlorQbzyx

Musk, speaking at the White House alongside President Donald Trump, mocked the absurdity of the situation. “Unless we have a secret population of vampires, something is seriously wrong here,” he said.

And possibly after Musk is done there will be more funds in Social Security than we were led to believe. I cannot understand WHY people are trying to stop DOGE from finding the real culprits in the fraud scheme.

A 2023 government audit confirmed that nearly 19 million individuals over 100 remained in Social Security’s database with no record of death. While officials insist that most of those accounts are inactive, DOGE is investigating whether fraudulent claims have been filed under those identities.
Americans of all ages should be furious at the Democrats and the rinos for allowing the fraud, waste, and abuse to the tune of 11 Trillion dollars. At the same time, they tell you that you need to pay more taxes delay your Social Security retirement, and take pay cuts. GO DOGE!

King resigned after reportedly refusing to grant DOGE access to the agency’s recipient records. The White House moved quickly to replace her, nominating financial executive Frank Bisignano for the role while appointing Leland Dudek as interim commissioner.
WTH is really going on inside our government?
We’re being completely ripped off by those supposed to help protect our way of life. @elonmusk @DOGE

Social Security is not the only federal program under scrutiny. DOGE has also flagged nearly $5 trillion in untraceable Treasury transactions, adding to concerns about financial mismanagement across multiple agencies.
HOLY MOLY! Stephen Miller just confirmed that foreign fraud rings have been using fake social security numbers & identities to steal billions of taxpayer benefits through the IRS.
Miller confirmed DOGE is about to get the records.

Musk has made it clear that these findings are just the beginning of a broader effort to overhaul government accountability. “We’re going to follow the money and fix what’s broken,” he said.
