Summary
Elon Musk sparked controversy by falsely claiming entitlement programs like Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid have “$700 billion” in fraud annually, vastly exaggerating the actual figure (~$10 billion/year).
Musk labeled Social Security a “Ponzi scheme” and spread conspiracies about immigrants exploiting the system.
Critics argue Musk’s ignorance and conspiracy-mongering threaten essential public programs and data privacy, while his inflammatory rhetoric—such as calling Senator Mark Kelly, a former astronaut and combat veteran, a “traitor”—reinforces demands for his immediate removal from government.
Social Security is a non-partisan red line.
If this chode killed it his chances of survival would plummet.
That the case may be, but he’d be a martyr for the ultra-capitalistic sorts that make these efforts their life’s work.
A despicable end, but one that may appeal to Musk himself.
Nah. No one would mourn him. The next ultra rich person would learn from his mistakes, but continue on with his work.
I really hope he fucks with it.
I would buy all the popcorn to watch 2 million boomers walk up Pennsylvania Avenue to Gaddafi his ass for days.
Same, I truly believe Americans won’t be on the same page about anything. Unless they fuck with it.
