March 25, 2025 The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) on Monday announced its audit of the Social Security Administration (SSA) had removed 7 million accounts belonging to individuals listed over 120 years old.

March 5 President Trump on Tuesday called for an end to people hundreds of years old collecting Social Security benefits — a claim his own administration has debunked.

Note how slick Elon is in that first article. It was written only 5 days ago. By then, the whole story had been debunked (it was debunked way back in February). But Elon is insisting on keeping it alive.

But on March 25, though he can no longer state that 120 year olds are receiving SS checks, he still keeps the story alive by claiming to delete the accounts of 7 MILLION PEOPLE over 120.

All he’s doing here is deleting the records of former Ss recipients, which even if taken alone is a helluva bad idea.

The last date I could find for Donald Trump repeating the lie was March 4, at his joint session of Congress address, whic is still weeks after the lie was disproven.
