The head of the US Department of Public Administration Efficiency (DOGE), Elon Musk, announced the largest fraud in the US social security system. According to him, the number of recipients of social benefits by 60 million people exceeds the number of US citizens in general. That is, the number of Americans receiving social benefits is 394 million people, and the total population of the country is 334 million people.

Musk published a table with age data of living Americans receiving social benefits. Among them there are not only several million living Americans aged 120-249 years, but also one "centenarian" referred to the age group of 360-369 years. Musk joked that there are "a lot of vampires living in the United States who receive social benefits."

According to Musk's statement, there are currently 4.7 million recipients of benefits aged 100-109 years, 3.6 million recipients aged 110-119 years, 3.4 million recipients aged 120-129 years, 3.9 million recipients aged 130-139 years, 3.5 million recipients aged 140-149 years, 1.3 million recipients aged 150-159 121 thousand recipients aged 160-169 years, 1 thousand recipients aged 220-229, 1 recipient aged 240-249 years, 1 recipient aged 360-369 years.

As previously reported by EADaily, DOGE, led by Elon Musk, gained access to the ultra-sensitive system of the US Internal Revenue Service (IRS), which contains detailed financial data on taxpayers and companies.

The creation of DOGE was the idea of US President Donald Trump, who came to power at the end of January, and his goal is to carry out a deep reform of the American state apparatus in order to reduce government spending. The Commission is headed by Elon Musk, and some of its early initiatives have already been challenged in court, as they pose a danger to confidential personal data.
