Social Security for centuries
Trump mentioned the waste, fraud and abuse that Elon Musk and DOGE have been uncovering in recent weeks, including a list of how many millions of Social Security numbers have been assigned to individuals who are centuries old.
The team at @DOGE has uncovered that millions of people are on the Social Security rolls who are no longer alive:
From 120-129 years old: 3,472,000
From 130-139 years old: 3,936,000
From 140-149 years old: 3,542,000

"I asked Elon, 'Who are these DOGE people?'" Trump said. "They're super brilliant computer people and they love the country. It's simple."
Reading from information he said Musk had provided to him, Trump claimed there are approximately 3,472,000 people receiving Social Security who are between the ages of 120 to 129, 3,936,000 between the ages of 130 and 139, and 3,542,000 people in their 140s.
He noted the ages increase up to one person who is supposedly 360 years old.
"Ninety to 99, maybe it's possible," he said. "That's still a lot of people, though, with that. But people that live to 100 to 109? 4,734,000. Wow, that's a lot. That means over 100 years old, there are 4 million people. I don't know too many. I know people that are doing great in their 90s, but not too many people over 100."
“I wonder if people are getting paid with all this? Are these checks, and that's what we're checking right now,” he later added.
