#Musk Spread #Lies to Justify #DOGE Takeover of #SocialSecurity

#ElonMusk stood before a giant American flag at a Wisconsin rally in March & rolled out an eye-popping allegation of rampant fraud at the #SocialSecurityAdministration. Scammers, he said, were making 40% of all calls to the agency’s customer service line.

#SSA employees knew the claim had no basis in fact. After journalists followed up, staff began drafting a response correcting the record.

Engadget: The Social Security Administration is reportedly moving all official communication to X. “The Social Security Administration is planning to stop issuing press releases and move all of its official communications to X, according to Wired. The change is happening amidst cuts at the department directed by DOGE, the organization created by Elon Musk, the CEO of X.”

Whoah! This doesn't seem right. Is it legal? All of Social Security Administration's public communications will be moved exclusively to X, Musk's private social media company.
Users will be able to view the communications without an account, but will not have access to any other functions.

Using the #SocialSecurityAdministration databases to classify hundreds of thousands of living immigrants as “dead” in order to get them to “self-deport” is like that thing you can do in Stellaris where you set a whole species’ overall status to “Undesirables” and the extermination/purge method to “Displacement.” It’s horrifying to see in real life.

“The state does not budget for the dead.”

It sometimes pays to run domains that serve purely as spam honeypots. Case in point: A spammer has been delivering a ConnectWise commercial remote access client application as a payload in a scam that uses the purported arrival of a US Social Security statement as its hook.
