Elon Musk raises alarm over potential Social Security fraud involving millions of beneficiaries over 100

Elon Musk recently shared data suggesting possible fraud in the Social Security system. He claimed that over 20 million Americans over 100 years old are receiving benefits, raising questions about the accuracy of the Social Security Administration's records. Musk's data indicates there are 394 million names in the Social Security database, exceeding the U.S. population of about 335 million. He described this discrepancy as potentially "the biggest fraud in history." In response, some lawmakers suggested pausing payments to beneficiaries over 100 until their status can be verified. Estimates of potential fraud in Social Security payments could reach up to $793 billion annually.
