Elon Musk's Social Security numbers ‘mind-blowing’ chart raises eyebrows; ‘We found 20 million dead people…’
Billionaires Elon Musk and Antonio Gracias have sparked new worries about the sharp increase in in Social Security Numbers issued to non-citizens.
Billionaires Elon Musk and Antonio Gracias have sparked new worries about the sharp increase in in Social Security Numbers issued to non-citizens. They displayed a “mind-blowing” chart during their presentation.
Ahead of Tuesday's Wisconsin Supreme Court election, Musk attended a town hall in Wisconsin to give two voters a $1 million check for submitting an online petition against activist justices. During his two-hour speech, he made a shocking assertion that non-citizens are receiving Social Security numbers.
Musk referred to bombshell inconsistencies in the Social Security database before welcoming Gracias to the podium. “We found 20 million dead people marked as alive in the Social Security system. This is so crazy,” he said.
Social Security numbers surge to 2.1 million in 2024
Gracias, who has participated in the assessment of Social Security procedures, described how their research revealed an exponential rise in the number of SSNs granted to non-citizens. “In 2021, there were 270,000 issued,” he claimed, adding that “Now, in 2024, that number has skyrocketed to 2.1 million.”
The two underlined that there was no political motivation behind their conclusions. “This isn't political,” said Gracias. He justified his statement by giving his own example. He said his relatives are foreign-born and he fully supports lawful immigration. “This is about America and its future,” he remarked.
Gracias explained how SSNs can be issued to illegal immigrantsat the US border without stringent verification. “Once they're in the country and apply for a work permit, the Social Security Administration automatically mails them an SSN—no interview, no ID required.”
Musk rips into Biden administration
Musk took things a step further and accused the Biden administration of allowing the surge, stating that this was more than merely incompetence. “The Biden administration wasn't asleep at the switch. It was a large-scale effort to import as many illegals as possible, ultimately to reshape the U.S. voting system and make it a permanent one-party state.”
According to Gracias, their team found non-citizens who were registered to vote and some of them even have already cast ballots.
“We took a sample, checked voter registration records, and found people in this group had registered and voted. We've already referred some cases for prosecution.”
Netizens react
While Trump claimed that his government would not alter Social Security payouts, the remarks infuriated social media users because Americans fear that Elon Musk's DOGE will reduce Social Security benefits because he publicly referred to them as a “Ponzi scam.”
“You are gonna have to show the people the receipts on this. Otherwise it will just further divide people,” one X user said.
“If there is evidence of this, it should be turned over to @FBIDirectorKash and @AGPamBondi to investigate and prosecute,” another added.
