In a jaw-dropping revelation that has sparked widespread debate online, Elon Musk has exposed what he believes is an astronomical fraud within the Social Security system. In a series of posts on his social media platform X (formerly Twitter), Musk presented data suggesting that millions of active Social Security numbers are associated with individuals over 130 years old—a scenario that defies logic and reality.

Musk’s initial post featured an image of Social Security data that displayed age buckets with the “death” field marked as FALSE, indicating that these individuals were still considered alive. “According to the Social Security database, these are the numbers of people in each age bucket with the death field set to FALSE! Maybe Twilight is real and there are a lot of vampires collecting Social Security,” Musk quipped, blending his characteristic humor with a serious accusation. His post quickly went viral, garnering over 310,000 likes and prompting thousands of responses from both supporters and critics.

In a follow-up post, Musk intensified his message by noting, “Yes, there are FAR more ‘eligible’ Social Security numbers than there are citizens in the USA. This might be the biggest fraud in history.” He argued that the sheer volume of Social Security numbers supposedly tied to individuals well beyond a realistic human lifespan points to a systemic failure in internal auditing and data management. Musk recalled that watchdogs like the Government Accountability Office had flagged these discrepancies years ago, yet no substantial measures had been taken to rectify them.
