Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) is investigating potential fraud within the Social Security system after discovering startling data. The agency’s database reveals millions of individuals listed as being over 100 years old, with some records showing ages exceeding 360 years.

The data shows 4.7 million people categorized as 100-109 years old, 3.6 million as 110-119, and 3.4 million as 120-129. Even more bizarre, 3.9 million are listed as 130-139, 1.3 million as 150-159, and over 1,000 individuals as 220-229 years old. One record even claims a person is 360-369 years old.

“Perhaps Twilight is accurate, and vampires are collecting Social Security,” Musk joked. He added, “The number of ‘eligible’ Social Security accounts far exceeds the U.S. population. This could be the largest fraud in history.”

Musk previously highlighted these irregularities on February 11, questioning the validity of such records. “Do you know anyone who’s 150? I don’t. If they exist, they belong in the Guinness Book of World Records,” he remarked.

According to Pew Research, only about 101,000 Americans are 100 or older in 2024, making the DOGE data highly implausible. PolitiFact consulted the Social Security Administration, which offered potential explanations, such as coding errors or default birthdates. For example, missing dates may automatically register as May 20, 1875, under international standards, resulting in an age of 150 by 2025.

Despite these technical justifications, concerns about systemic fraud persist. The Trump administration has emphasized rooting out such abuses to safeguard Social Security and Medicare funds. Critics, however, argue that reform efforts could inadvertently harm beneficiaries.

Saul Anuzis, president of the 60 Plus Association, stressed that eliminating fraud could secure these programs’ futures. “By addressing waste and fraud, we could protect 20-25% of the funds, ensuring long-term sustainability without reducing benefits,” he explained.

DOGE’s ongoing investigation aims to uncover the truth behind these anomalies, potentially saving billions of dollars and restoring trust in the system.
