Elon Musk Says Social Security Scammer Who Allegedly Ripped Off 400,000 Americans Will Be Arrested

DOGE head Elon Musk revealed during a virtual town hall in Wisconsin that he expects arrests will be made in connection to a massive Social Security fraud operation that includes the stolen identities of over 400,00 Americans. 

Musk said the fraud was part of a broader effort to exploit the U.S. welfare systems and voter rolls by illegal immigrants.

Musk told a caller into the town hall “Yes. In fact, I believe someone is going to be arrested tomorrow. This is someone who actually stole 400,000 Social Security numbers and personal information from the Social Security database, and was selling Social Security numbers and all the identification information in order for people to basically steal money from Social Security.”

Musk added that the fraud has even farther reaching operations, such as including illegal participation in our elections and abuse of government benefits.

“This is a particular avenue of fraud for illegal immigrants and for voter fraud, because the main way that identification is established in the United States is via Social Security,” Musk explained. “So if you compromise the Social Security system, you can basically get people de facto registered to vote, even if they’re not citizens, and to get a bunch of benefits and milk the system. It’s pretty insane.”
