You as a nursebee are more prudent then Elon Musk with his team ? What do you estimate how stupid all the other persons are and how intelligent you are ? You sound by far below an average intelligent person. Come on. Be more calm. No offense intended.
show me the link, or copy and paste where musk said dead people collecting? He didn’t. He said data field set to false. That might imply a conclusion, but does not state such as fact.
The O.P. includes a typical Zerohedge hit piece. Apparently, before repeating Musk's nonsense, no one at Zerohedge thought to interview anyone at the S.S. administration with in-depth knowledge of Social Security computer files. The figures quoted in the Zerohedge piece are quite obviously impossible. There is such a thing as social security fraud, but it's rare not common, and it is prosecuted. The plain fact is that the S.S. Administration is one of the most efficient and best run government agencies. They administer comprehensive, highly complex, social security law made by Congress, and they do that job amazingly well!
Where do you know what kind of research Zerohedge made before this article ? You say they did not contact anyone, are you dead sure ? Otherwise I would say you are making kind of exxageration with no proof. Usually journalism is always done with kind of research. That is why you are making a complaint with no proof showing here. You are only assuming something and make some conclusions.
Sorry but I do not want to talk or discuss with someone having only a high school diploma like a nursebee usually has. I previously said I am well educated over a long time with my Doctor degree on a university. So it would be also unfair and give a wrong picture talking or discussing with people who have not seen any higher school in their life.
The main differences of the dispute here is the belief of one party here that Musk with DOGE and maybe Trump with his whole team are stupid. I do not think so. And the other party here is assuming that those people are well educated (too) and are NOT STUPID. That is the dispute which is going on it seems. I would say that Trump and Musk are kind of genius intelligent in some way (more as a businessman than as a politician of course). But I am surprised how some folks here thinks that Musk is totally stupid with his team and making basic errors and that all what is written about them or from them is not true and no narrow conclusions can be made of what is said. And I am not a democrat or republican or any sort of political as I am German. But it seems that many people are just totally blind and everything what comes out of Trump and Musk and their teams must be meaningless or negative. I do not get it. This is totally stupid in my eyes. Those people are spending their whole time and endless hours for the US American people (and not against). They want the best outcome for the USA. So I am surprised reading so much about the negativity when it comes to politics. Usually the Americans are an optimistic folk with lots of pioneers and have trust in their future. But in this thread it is divided. Strange...
To me it seems that some hard core Democrats do not want to see or hear that there is or was any corruption or any kind of payment unjustified. And that everything before Trumps presidency was 100% correct and fine. But the opposite is true. And it is pretty certain now that there is some corruption going on which the democrats secured with USAID kickbacks and more. They just got caught and are screaming loudest now as they want to hide everything. They cannot believe it or just want to hide their criminal activity they have done before. Trump is not like the ordinary politician. It will be all detected and prosecuted and Musk with DOGE will help to prevent fraud and abuse. They are smart people. My opinion.
And I think it is more wise to think that other people are smart too (if you are smart or educated person) except they showed you the opposite. Underestimating others is never a good idea, I think. And I am not talking to the so called "Average Joe" (as US American) with his high school diploma (only) in this thread (or else in this forum).
