“Entitlements fraud for illegal aliens, is what is serving as a gigantic magnetic force to pull people in from all around the world and keep them here,” Musk said told Rogan.
Elon Musk is coming after Social Security. The outright lies and misinformation the Krasnov Administration, Russian bots, MAGA influencers and clueless members are all over Truth Social and similar social media plaltforms.“If you end the illegal alien fraud, then you turn off that magnet, and they leave. And they stop coming, and the ones that are here, many of them will simply leave. And if that happens, they will lose a massive number of Democratic voters.”
One of his biggest lies refers to thousands of dead people on the SS rolls that are still receiving a check.
The MAGA crowd have repeated this so much, it's established truth in their world. As well has the lie that illegal aliens are receiving SS benefits:
Associated Press reports on this lie here.
The Trump administration is falsely claiming that tens of millions of dead people over 100 years old are receiving Social Security payments.
It is true that improper payments have been made, including some to dead people. But the numbers thrown out by Musk and the White House are overstated and misrepresent Social Security data.
So, for those that would like to know exactly how Social Security works, I'm posting the pdf from the Social Security Administration website below.
