Elon Drops Perfect Response Amid Leftist Outrage as DOGE Finds ‘Vampires,’ More Shocking Instances of Fraud
Elon Drops Perfect Response to Leftist Outrage as DOGE Finds ‘Vampires’ in Social Security Database While Reportedly Discovering Millions of Instances of Fraud
In a startling revelation that could signal one of the largest cases of government waste in U.S. history, data shared by Elon Musk indicates millions of deceased Americans may still be listed as eligible for Social Security benefits, including some supposedly aged over 360 years old.
The findings have sparked immediate concerns about potential fraud and systemic failures within one of the nation’s largest federal programs. Meanwhile, leftists have warned about the dangers of Musk having access to such personal information.
The billionaire responded to the latter fears in typical Musk fashion: “Bruh, if I wanted to rummage through random personal shit, I could have done that at PAYPAL.”
He continued: “Having tens of millions of people marked in Social Security as ‘ALIVE’ when they are definitely dead is a HUGE problem. Obviously. Some of these people would have been alive before America existed as a country. Think about that for a second.”
Bruh, if I wanted to rummage through random personal shit, I could have done that at PAYPAL. Hello???

The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has launched an urgent investigation into potential widespread fraud within the Social Security Administration (SSA) after Musk published shocking statistics on his X platform showing over 20 million Americans listed as being over 100 years old in the agency’s database.
The investigation comes amid mounting pressure to address government spending and efficiency.
The Daily Mail reported that according to the data, which Musk presented in a detailed spreadsheet, the SSA’s records include 3.9 million people aged 130-139, more than 3.5 million in the 140-149 range and over 1.3 million supposedly between 150-159 years old.
Perhaps most incredibly, the database lists at least one “living” recipient as being over 360 years old, raising serious questions about the agency’s record-keeping practices.
“According to the Social Security database, these are the numbers of people in each age bucket with the death field set to FALSE!” Musk wrote on X.
“Maybe Twilight is real and there are a lot of vampires collecting Social Security.”

The implications could be staggering for American taxpayers, per Daily Mail.
With the U.S. population currently at 334.9 million, Musk’s analysis suggests the SSA database includes roughly 60 million more people than actually exist in the country.
While 68.5 million Americans received SSA benefits in 2024, the total number of people listed as eligible in the system is approximately 310 million – an impossibly high 92.5 percent of the total U.S. population.
During a press conference at the White House alongside President Donald Trump, Musk highlighted the absurdity of the situation.
“We’ve got people in there that are 150-years-old,” he said.
“Now do you know anyone who’s 150? I don’t know. They should be in the Guinness Book of World Records. They’re missing out.”
The investigation comes as part of a broader efficiency drive within the federal government.
Musk has already overseen significant changes at other agencies, including the dismantling of USAID and the removal of top FEMA officials following a controversial $59 million payment to New York City luxury hotels for housing migrants.
His appointment to lead DOGE has already resulted in substantial changes across multiple federal agencies, TTOA has reported.
The Tesla CEO’s focus on the SSA follows a pattern of targeting what he perceives as wasteful government spending.
The SSA scrutiny coincides with other federal cost-cutting measures, including a voluntary buyout program that has seen 40,000 federal employees accept full pay through September to leave their positions.
The administration has also terminated billions in federal contracts, particularly targeting diversity, equity and inclusion programs.
DOGE just cancelled 4 different contracts for DEI training for THE DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE totaling $100 million.

Daily Mail noted that DOGE officials confirmed they are “looking into this” potential fraud, though the exact number of improper payments remains unclear.
The investigation is expected to focus not only on identifying fraudulent claims but also on understanding how the system’s controls failed to catch such obvious discrepancies.
