Elon Musk Reveals Over 25 Million Centenarians in Social Security Database

Elon Musk recently shared a striking screenshot from the U.S. Social Security database on X, claiming that over 25 million Americans aged 100 and older are still marked as alive, jokingly suggesting that 'vampires' might be collecting benefits. His post highlighted inconsistencies in the data, with over 3.9 million individuals recorded in the 130-139 age range, raising serious concerns about potential fraud and the integrity of the Social Security system. Critics have pointed out that such anomalies could stem from outdated records or technical glitches, leading to calls for urgent audits of the SSA's database. The unusual figures have sparked widespread discussion about the efficiency of government systems, with some suggesting that Musk's young engineers might inadvertently complicate matters if they attempt to modify the underlying code. So far, the Social Security Administration has not addressed the growing concerns stemming from Musk's revelations. The incident underscores ongoing worries about waste and fraud within U.S. entitlement programs.
