Summary
Elon Musk suggested cutting Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid in a Fox News interview, citing debunked claims about fraud and linking benefits to illegal immigration.
He falsely claimed millions of deceased individuals remain in the Social Security system, a statement previously refuted by officials.
While Trump has promised not to cut entitlement programs, Musk’s remarks indicate they are under threat, potentially impacting millions of Americans.
His rhetoric echoes far-right conspiracy theories, raising concerns about his influence on policy discussions regarding social safety nets.
It’ll bite him in the arse, when he’s old and unemployed and with no bladder because of the ket
So, do I get back everything I paid into it for the past 40 years? Is that part of the plan? If not, who gets that money, let me guess.
I just retired after 40 years at over company, plus some college jobs. I’m 62, and social security was one of the things in my plan that made me decide I could retire My company was laying people off; I was secure, but my leaving allowed one more person to keep their job.
Now Trump is tanking my 401k and Elon is taking about cutting SS. I’ve never been more stressed about money.
Welcome to the financial life of a millennial who are experts at living in poverty thanks to the economy boomers like you benefited from. I wish we had an economy where a milkman salary could pay for a house and family like it was when you were growing up.
Finally admits what we knew all along. I’m shocked…absolutely shocked…wow…if I could get anymore shocked I’d be like 5 steps down from a single eyebrow lift.
Where do I get a refund on my social security payments I’ve put in my entire adult life?
I know you’re joking but for those that don’t understand:
When you pay in your Social Security each paycheck. That money is immediately handed out to another person. When you go to collect Social Security in reality, you’re justliving on somebody else’s money. You never see your money again. It really is just social welfare.
(not so) fun fact: The average black male American never sees a penny from social security because the program is biased toward those who live long enough to reap the benefits of the program. So, despite paying in an entire working life, dying too young rewards you with a big fat nothing.
What the fuck have you been smoking? Do you seriously believe that the average black male American will die before retirement age?
Also fun fact: I’ve been pulling made up statistics (also without any corroborating numbers) out of my butt since the last ice age!
The average life expectancy of a black male in the US is 72 years. Are you saying they’re just choosing not to pull SS? Something doesn’t seem right with your stat.
If this does not really kick Americans into some gear, then absolutely nothing will.
Hi, the election just happened five months ago and there’s none for four years.
Apparently the context of my comment flew over your head and you tried sounding witty but ultimately looked dumb in the end. Congrats, now go away.
Wasn’t witty, and you sound like another Reddit asshole so get fucked.
Midterm elections are in two years. Those matter too.

We also all know how much in charge of the White House he is too.
Let’s pretend he actually does do something to Social Security. There’s enough people around him all day that will entirely outraged by this to be safe at any time. Go ahead and try, motherfucker.
linking […] to immigration
Ah, so:
- Gotta cut SS because of immigrants
- Uh oh people really want SS
- Look I saved SS by deporting immigrants
You know, Elon Musk is a person with a neck.
A neck that’s awfully long. Maybe we could help him out and shorten it a bit.
You, and all your ancestors, offspring, and reincarnations, have just been permabanned from Reddit.
Dubvee.org is going to have a field day of automated ban syncs with this thread.
Hooray!
And he thinks empathy is a flaw in humans, so…
This is a great point.
I know some folks that can fashion a guillotine!
Many people are saying…
We should use the chopping block on him, and repurpose his wealth to fund government programs. Especially for repaying federal employees for this shitshow.
A kawaii guillotine. I have truly seen it all now.
I’ve had this saved as a reaction image for a while now
I’m gonna be honest, I kinda want my tattoo artist to make me a kawaii guillotine tattoo now
You should see my Hello Kitty bandsaw.
Is there a 6 foot sliding bench attached to it? Because I have to admit, Automatic Guillotine sounds pretty badass.
I suppose it is big enough for that…
Lets see how the Trumpists react when they notice that their social security checks no longer come and the medicaid no longer pays for their vital medications.
It’ll still be the fault of Democrats and the Trans/DEI agenda for burning all the money.
If their supporters were capable of logical thought they wouldn’t be their supporters (not saying they’d be Dems, but they definitely wouldn’t be supporting these fucks).
Can’t logic someone out of something they didn’t logic themselves into, and they deffo didn’t logic themselves into thinking that trans dei woke liberals were turning the frogs gay.
Seriously…. Why the fuck is this clown allowed to cut ANYTHING?
The moment he cuts a single service someone depends on, he should be sued into submission. How is this happening?
Because the President and the Republican majority in the House and Senate are onboard with it, and that’s the authority driving it (mostly the President, but the reason that Congress isn’t objecting to or trying to block stuff is because they’re okay with it). Musk may be the face of the cuts — he doesn’t have to worry about re-election, unlike politicians — he has no authority of his own. His organization is just saying “this is what we should cut”, and the cuts happen under the President’s authority. Musk isn’t independently going out and cutting things.
Musk isn’t independently going out and cutting things.
It’s weird seeing this complete and utter bullshit being unironically spewed still. It wasn’t Trump that cut the air traffic controllers, or nuclear watchdogs, or infections disease investigators. It was Musk, and spreading this propaganda just helps protect Trump from allowing it.
He should be on the chopping block
Musk’s head is gonna be on the chopping block if he manages to make 20+ million Americans instantly homeless.
Oh okay. So where’s my fucking money???
