As Doge attacks social security, New Report shows

A new report shows that companies of technology billionaire Elon Musk have sucked at least $ 38 billion from the federal government’s offices. The report, published by The Washington Post, makes the case that Musk’s corporate empire will not exist if it is not a flood of taxpayers from the government itself that the billionaire is currently trying to dismantle.

Thehe Post analysis found That $ 38 billion comes from an abundance of subsidies, contracts, loans and tax loans that have gone to Musk’s companies over the years (mainly Tesla and SpaceX). However, the $ 38 billion figure can actually decline how many Musk companies have benefited from the government. Postal Notes:

The total amount is probably more: this analysis includes only publicly available contracts, missing the classified defense and intelligence work for the federal government. SpaceX is developing spy satellites for the National Intelligence Office, the spy satellite department of the Pentagon, according to the Reuters news agency. The Wall Street Journal announced that the contract is worth $ 1.8 billion, citing company documents. The post has found nearly a dozen other local subsidies, refunds and tax loans, where the specific amount of money is not public.

The news that Musk is a huge beneficiary of public money should not shock anyone, although it is particularly ironic given the fact that the billionaire and his servants are currently helping the Trump administration undermines the federal benefits for millions of medium and low incomes.

In fact, Musk’s dog is quietly helping the Trump administration attack the Social Security Administration, the basis of the US well -being and the agency responsible for the administration of retirement benefits to about 73 million Americans. In recent weeks, Dog helps to terminate the leasing contracts For SSA offices across the country, resulting in a planned closure in places like Michigan, New York, West Virginia, Ohio, Arkansas, Texas and others. A report From the US perspective, he claims that the current SSA commissioner, the Trump appointed Leland Dudek, has recently requested an action plan that will reduce the agency’s workforce by a huge 50 percent, which, if applied, will certainly overcome the overall operational capacity of the program. As of last year it was already said that SSA suffering from a shortage of staffAnd the further reduction of the agency would certainly make it dysfunctional and irony of fate (as far as DOC is concerned), extremely ineffective.

Dudek also has a strange relationship with Doge: The Washington Post reportedBefore he was appointed head of the SSA, he was under an investigation into the Agency for “Sharing Unauthorized Access to Information” with the Musk’s Doge team. Against the backdrop of the study in his activities, Trump suddenly raised Dudek from his role as a bureaucrat from the middle level to a unit against the murder to the first place of the agency. Dudek replaced Michel King, the previous SSA acting Commissioner, who withdrew last week after refusing to provide access to “Social Security Receiving Information,” CNN reported earlier. Dudek, however, is just the temporary commissioner and will eventually Be replaced by Frank BissyanoFormer Chief Operating Officer of JPMorgan Chase and current Fiserv CEO, a payment processor.

The prospect further notes that the dismissals in the SSA have been officially officially represented via email by the General Services Administration, which confirm that SSA – like other federal agencies – will be subjected to “reduction of power”. Trump put the scene for massive cuts in federal agencies with a simple An enforcement order related to DOG It’s been a few weeks back. The obvious SSA targeting launches violent speculation in and around the Agency on the Agency’s long -term longevity:

Sources speculate on the perspective that terminations are being carried out to avoid titles of tens of thousands of jobs. “The plan is to fire 50 percent of workers into small buckets, so no one knows what they are doing,” they said.

… “” No touch to social security “is not the reality of this administration,” said a source familiar with the SSA discussions in a message received from the perspective. “The demand for the government to fail and to be replaced by the private industry seems to be the goal.”

When reached for comment by Gizmodo about the expected cuts, the SSA has provided the following statement: “SSA publishes publicly reports this week on the removal of two components within the agency. We have not set any targets to reduce, but we will continue to pursue efficiency within the agency and to align as missions. We currently have no additional information. “

The components that SSA seem to refer to Civil Rights and Equal Opportunity Service and Transformation ServiceTwo offices that were closed this week, which led to cuts for about 200 workers. However, as noted earlier, other offices across the country are also aimed at closing.

On his platform X, Musk has spread misinformation about the Social Security Program that made the program look dysfunctional and fraud. In fact, Musk recently made the claim that America pays retirement benefits of tens of millions of dead people –claim that Commissioner Dudek is forced to admit It was grossly falseS Musk had previously indicated on the need to reduce the cost of the benefits of Americans and shared an online social security misinformation which demonized the programS

The obvious attack of the Trump administration against social security was also repeated in the recently formulated federal budget proposal proposed by the GOP controlled congress. It is reported that the recent budget plan for the budget offers taxes on social security payments. A Recent analysis The claims that the elimination of the taxes mentioned will strengthen national debt by 7 percent over the next few decades and will have a short-term positive effect for wealthy adults, while refusing to a large extent younger generations. Other analyzes indicate that it would prompt budget deficiencies For the program, threatening it as a whole.

GoP voters began to express their dissatisfaction with the embrace of their lawmakers of Musk and Dog. Numerous Republican mayoralties have descended in chaos in recent weeks as voters have appeared to raise and heck their congressmen because of their support as a billionaire. However, many of these congressmen have encountered much of this criticism of shoulders. One such legislator, reporter Jay Obernolte (R-California), rejected his voters’ fears: “It’s easy to be critical, but people voted for a change in November and that’s exactly what they get.”
