The Social Security Administration’s acting commissioner said members of Elon Musk’s cost-cutting team are outsiders who are unfamiliar with the nuances of the agency’s programs.

Four of the 37 Social Security field offices in North Carolina are among leases being terminated by the Elon Musk-led Department of Government Efficiency.

Only time will tell if the prediction by Martin O’Malley, the former Social Security commissioner, is accurate.

Across-the-board cuts at the Social Security Administration are prompting questions about how the benefits of millions of recipients may be affected.

Elon Musk is “trying to convince Americans that our Social Security system is overrun by massive fraud,” said Nancy Altman in The Hill. He’s sent his DOGE minions in and come out with a claim that Social Security is paying out funds to millions of beneficiaries over 100 years old.

The Trump Administration, with the help of the Elon Musk-led Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), is targeting a wide range of federal government agencies for mass layoffs. And the U.S. Social Security Administration (SSA) is not escaping the Trump/DOGE cuts.
