With all the excitement today, did you know that DOGE found 20 million dead people on Social Security?

From Grok:
DOGE, the Department of Government Efficiency led by Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy, recently identified 20 million deceased individuals still listed in the Social Security database, sparking concerns about potential fraud and improper payments, as reported in February 2025.
The Trump administration’s claims about millions of dead people receiving Social Security checks have been disputed, with the Associated Press clarifying on February 19, 2025, that while some improper payments occur, the numbers are exaggerated and misrepresent the data.
Elon Musk has highlighted massive fraud in federal entitlements, including Social Security, estimating losses at $1 billion per week, and pushing for digital identity solutions to address these issues, as noted in his X posts and news reports from February 2025
My bet is that every one of these deceased folk receiving checks are registered and frequently voting DemonicRats…
Old article as Vivek hasn’t been with Doge for weeks. The ‘dead people’ on rolls just means a missing tick mark in a box, not necessarily that fraud taking place. The person could have been below SS collecting age when they died, and relatives didn’t inform SS at the time. Easily done and easy fix by adding a control that informs SS whenever probate is granted. Missing controls don’t equal fraud, just doesn’t prevent it,
No. This is new information. Grok has issues with current time line updates based on his real-time clock. I could point out that Vivek is no longer part of DOGE and it would update future responses. I believe Elon Musk has documented evidence for his statement.
“digital identity solutions”?
As I have often said, ” Our chains are being forged, not of iron or steel, but of ones and zeros”.
I originally thought that the fraudsters were the family, care givers and nursing homes not reporting deaths. Turns out it’s worse. Organized international crime groups are involved. Each crime group is collecting for hundreds of social security numbers. Maybe more. It’s big business for them.
I caution against the progression to having to take the Mark in my hand or forehead!
