You’ve got to hand it to Elon Musk—when he digs into government waste, he doesn’t just find a little bloat; he uncovers a full-blown disaster. Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) team just exposed one of the most insane cases of bureaucratic incompetence in recent history: the Social Security Administration (SSA) is apparently sending checks to millions of people who should have been dead for centuries.
Late Sunday night, Musk took to X to reveal that over 25 million Americans are listed in the Social Security database as being 100 years or older—a number that defies reality. The U.S. Census Bureau estimates there are only around 101,000 actual centenarians alive in the country today. So where are the other 24.9 million “elders” coming from? According to Musk, maybe Twilight is real and the SSA is paying benefits to vampires.
And it gets worse. The database includes:
- 3.9 million people supposedly aged 130-139
- 1.3 million people between 150-159
- 695 people aged 180-189
- 879 people aged 200-209
- One person between 360-369 years old (Seriously?!)
According to the Social Security database, these are the numbers of people in each age bucket with the death field set to FALSE!

The oldest living American is 114 years old. The longest-lived person in U.S. history was Sarah Knauss, who lived to be 119. So unless someone at the SSA has discovered the secret to immortality, this is just another example of massive government fraud and incompetence.
For years, conservatives have sounded the alarm on Social Security fraud, and this just proves their point. While hard-working Americans struggle with rising costs and are being forced to retire later, the government is apparently still cutting checks for people who would have been alive before the Constitution was even written. This isn’t just waste—it’s outright theft from the taxpayers.
The fact that DOGE uncovered this in a matter of months raises an even bigger question: how long has this been going on, and how much money has been stolen? The SSA is one of the largest entitlement programs in the country, and if it’s this riddled with fraud, just imagine what’s happening in other government agencies.
This is exactly why President Trump put Musk in charge of auditing the federal government. The deep state has been bleeding America dry for decades, funneling taxpayer dollars into fraudulent accounts while regular Americans struggle to make ends meet.
Now that this scandal is out in the open, the question is—who’s going to be held accountable? Or will Washington just keep cutting checks for ghosts, vampires, and people who “died” before America even existed?
