Just this morning he was being interviewed on cable about him going after the Social Security ponzi scheme. He said that he wanted it on the record that his DOGE operations will result in more money for benefit recipients.

Of course the interviewer didn't follow up by asking how is it possible that a recipient will get more money than they put in over a lifetime of working?

SS benefit levels are set at a monthly level when you retire and to my knowledge there's no compounding interest added. COLA is adjusted occasionally — mine this year was FOUR Dollars more than least year.

Wonder if that's what Musk meant that recipients will receive more money?

More likely he's just lying his ass off as he's in over his head and has no idea what he's doing — something that has become de rigueur for trump and his administration appointees.
