Trump Allies Urge White House to Limit Musk's Social Security Interviews

Elon Musk's recent critical remarks about Social Security have sparked concern among allies of President Trump. In media interviews, Musk referred to the program as 'the biggest Ponzi scheme of all time' and advocated for its elimination, suggesting significant waste and fraud in entitlement spending. These comments have alarmed some Trump supporters, including those from Wall Street and Congress, who fear Musk's unscripted statements could undermine public confidence in Social Security. The Trump administration has reassured the public that they will not cut Social Security benefits, emphasizing that Musk's opinions do not influence Trump's policies. Despite this, some Republicans are urging the White House to limit Musk's media appearances to prevent further discord. The situation reflects ongoing tensions within the Republican Party regarding entitlement reform and its messaging.
