An unelected billionaire is gunning for Social Security. Get Musk out, now.

Summary

Elon Musk sparked controversy by falsely claiming entitlement programs like Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid have "$700 billion" in fraud annually, vastly exaggerating the actual figure (~$10 billion/year).

Musk labeled Social Security a "Ponzi scheme" and spread conspiracies about immigrants exploiting the system.

Critics argue Musk’s ignorance and conspiracy-mongering threaten essential public programs and data privacy, while his inflammatory rhetoric—such as calling Senator Mark Kelly, a former astronaut and combat veteran, a "traitor"—reinforces demands for his immediate removal from government.
