A Close Elon Musk Friend Joins His Effort on Social Security
What Happened: Antonio Gracias, a longtime friend and adviser to Musk, has joined the Social Security Administration under an unauthorized FAKE DOGE. Gracias, a private equity investor who previously served on the boards of Tesla and SpaceX, has been vocal about supposed “fraud” in Social Security, calling it a “Ponzi scheme.” His involvement suggests Musk is planning to gut the agency.
Why It Matters: Musk and his cronies are pushing narratives of fraud and inefficiency in Social Security, laying the groundwork to gut the agency and privatize or cut benefits—a long-standing goal of some Republicans.

Musk Keeps His Eye on Social Security
What Happened: Musk has ramped lies that Social Security is plagued by “fraud,” calling it a “Ponzi scheme” and suggesting benefits go to undocumented immigrants and deceased individuals.
Why It Matters: Despite Trump’s denials of benefit cuts, Musk’s push aligns with Republican efforts to gut SSA, and this propaganda is being used as a pretext to slash Social Security, a historically untouchable program.
