In January 2025, President Trump appointed Elon Musk to head the newly formed Department Of Government Efficiency (DOGE), tasked with auditing federal agencies and proposing cost-reduction measures. This initiative aims to tackle corruption, particularly in Social Security, which has reportedly seen increased fraud under the previous administration. The DOGE audits have uncovered substantial inaccuracies, revealing millions of questionable accounts in the Social Security Administration, prompting ongoing controversy while aiming to restore trust and efficiency within federal spending.
DOGE reported that, as of the end of 2023, the Social Security Administration's records included approximately 7 million accounts associated with individuals over 120 years old, suggesting potential inaccuracies in SSA records.
The audits conducted by DOGE continue to find more instances of fraud and criminal theft of Social Security benefits that have depleted the Social Security trust fund intended solely for US citizens.
