Musk's team deployed 10 employees at the US Social Security Administration to investigate deceased individuals receiving social security benefits.

On March 14th, Jinshi Data reported that the Department of Government Efficiency led by Musk (DOGE) has currently deployed 10 staff members at the Social Security Administration in the United States to find evidence to support its claim that there may be tens of millions of deceased individuals receiving public benefits. The Social Security Administration has recently increased its manpower, including four government special employees and six additional DOGE employees on secondment from other departments. Their task is to uncover waste, fraud, and abuse in this 90-year-old institution. Musk referred to the US Social Security as the "largest Ponzi Scheme" in history and hinted this week that there may be up to $700 billion in annual benefit fraud.
