Social Security, the government program put on the books in 1935, is in focus at Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), which over the weekend reportedly requested access to information about Social Security recipients. That request prompted the resignation of acting Commissioner Michelle King, who had worked for the agency for more than 30 years.
It also comes on the heels of billionaire Elon Musk’s claims that DOGE has uncovered “massive government fraud” at the agency, alleging 150 year olds were fraudulently receiving Social Security benefits. Musk and his team at DOGE have yet to provide evidence to back up those claims.
