Elon Musk states that millions of Americans aged between 100 and 159 are recorded in a crucial US database.
Elon Musk recently posted information on X revealing that the United States Social Security database records over twenty million people aged one hundred or older with the death field indicated as false.
His post reveals that there are more than three point nine million entries for individuals aged one hundred thirty to one hundred thirty-nine, over three point five million for those aged one hundred forty to one hundred forty-nine, and in excess of one point three million for the age group one hundred fifty to one hundred fifty-nine.
Fox News Digital contacted the Social Security Administration for a response, while the United States Census Bureau data from 2020 indicates that there were more than eighty thousand individuals who were one hundred years old or older.
In related news, President Donald Trump has appointed Musk to head the newly created Department of Government Efficiency, a program aimed at uncovering and tackling waste, fraud, and abuse within federal government functions.
This appointment is part of broader efforts to assess and improve administrative processes in federal agencies.
Musk's shared data on X has led to a more in-depth examination of the Social Security system's internal records, as federal officials strive to maintain the accuracy and integrity of the information.
