Social Security Fraud: Nearly 1.5 Million Americans Listed as Over 150 Years Old, 1,041 Over 220 Years Old

Elon Musk and his elite team at the Department of Government Efficiency have been analyzing federal records in search of potential waste, fraud, and abuse.

They may have stumbled upon a significant issue within the Social Security Administration.

On Sunday, Musk took to X to reveal that the Social Security database contains records of hundreds of thousands—possibly even millions—of Americans who are officially listed as alive but have likely been deceased for years.

According to the database, over 1.3 million individuals are between the ages of 150 and 159, nearly 122,000 fall within the 160-169 age range, and more than 6,000 are recorded as being between 170 and 179 years old.

Additionally, a few thousand more are listed between the ages of 180 and 229, meaning they would have been born long before the Civil War.

“According to the Social Security database, these are the numbers of people in each age bucket with the death field set to FALSE!” Musk announced while sharing a screenshot of the data.

“Maybe Twilight is real and there are a lot of vampires collecting Social Security.”

He might not be entirely wrong.

One individual is listed as being between 240 and 249 years old, while another falls in the range of 360 to 369 years old.

That would imply that one American supposedly witnessed the early days of the republic, while another lived during the colonial era.

For context, the oldest verified person in modern history was Jeanne Calment, who lived just over 122 years, as recorded by the Guinness Book of World Records.

Born in 1875, she passed away in 1997.

A few others have also reached exceptionally old ages, but according to Musk’s findings, their lifespans are relatively unimpressive compared to what the Social Security database suggests. If accurate, the Guinness Book of World Records would require a major revision.

The database further indicates that over 7.4 million Americans are recorded as being between 130 and 149 years old.

Musk did not specify whether these supposed centenarians are still receiving benefits, but he expressed concerns about what this says regarding government efficiency.

“There are FAR more ‘eligible’ social security numbers than there are citizens in the USA,” Musk stated. “This might be the biggest fraud in history.”

At best, the Social Security Administration has been negligent in maintaining accurate records.

At worst, taxpayers are potentially funding millions in fraudulent payments to individuals exploiting the identities of long-deceased Americans, marking what could be one of the most significant fraud cases ever documented.

Regardless, Musk’s latest revelation highlights a glaring issue within the government and underscores the urgent need for bureaucratic reform and downsizing.
