7 million 'dead souls' receiving benefits from the government in the USA identified
In the United States, a major audit of the social security system revealed that over 7 million citizens receiving benefits were documented as alive, but were actually deceased. This was reported by the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) led by Elon Musk.

Extraordinarily aged 'beneficiaries'

According to the results of the audit conducted by DOGE, several astonishing cases were identified during the process of updating the records of the Social Security Administration. Specifically, among the beneficiaries:

? 1.7 million people are aged 120-129.
? 2.4 million people are aged 130-139.
? 2.4 million people are aged 140-149.
? Over 400 thousand people are aged 150 and above.

The numbers appear very extraordinary, as the oldest people in the world are not even 120 years old.

Fraud or a system error?

The report prepared by DOGE noted that the database cleanup took 3 weeks. During this process, 7 million people were officially declared deceased, and their social security numbers were canceled. However, over 5 million suspicious cases are still under investigation.

This situation may indicate significant fraud within the American social security system. If benefits have indeed been allocated in the names of deceased individuals, it means someone may have embezzled these funds.

Elon Musk's response

Elon Musk sharply criticized the situation, calling the U.S. social security system "the biggest fraud in history." He also published an infographic on his page stating that there are over 4 million citizens in the country who are over 100 years old.

"Even in movies, such long-lived individuals are rare. Perhaps there are indeed hidden 'vampires' that we don't know about?" Musk humorously commented.

Such issues in the U.S. social security system could lead not only to financial losses but also to a decline in the government's credibility. Currently, the government is planning to study this situation more deeply and implement new control mechanisms to prevent such cases from recurring in the future.

Once the audit results were published, the public undoubtedly began to pay serious attention to this issue. For now, it is clear that one of the largest frauds in American history has been uncovered.
