Elon Musk called Social Security a "Ponzi scheme." Another billionaire in the cabinet said only "fraudsters" would complain about missing Social Security checks. Tell that to the 73 million Americans who rely on the Social Security they earned from a lifetime of hard work.

Chris Van Hollen appears to be terrified of an audit of Social Security. I wonder why? Is it that his hands have been in the Social Security cookie jar? It sure seems like it.

Low-income Americans who voted for Trump say they are counting on him to keep their benefits intact even while his Cabinet picks and Republican lawmakers call on him to reduce federal spending.

Explain a Ponzi scheme and then show how Social Security isn't one.

Serious question: Why would Democrats issue Social Security numbers 2 illegal aliens? Answer: With SS number & Driver's license illegals can & did vote. Wisconsin town hall: @DOGE employee referred 2 total # of non-citizens who received SS numbers between 2021 & 2025. Chart showed steady increase under Biden reaching more than 2 million in 2024. 2023 saw 1 million non-citizens issued SS numbers as did 2025. 🔥Voter fraud. Long-term plan 2 transport illegals into country & give them voting credentials.

Social Security is going broke and you’re mad Elon Musk had the guts to say it out loud? Typical Democrat playbook: ignore the math, cry outrage, and hope the working class keeps paying for your failed promises.

Social security recipient checking in. It is, always has been, and always will be a Ponzi scheme. The worst part is the government extorts the money from our income under threat of legal action. Screw you and your ideological brethren, Chris.

Sen. you are spreading misinformation. Stop nonsense.

And please tell them why Democrats allowed millions of illegal aliens to get social security benefits, MAXIMUM benefits!!

Chris. Democrats tried to make social security into Ponzi sceme. Elon exposed thievery, and will save our seniors retirement money. Trump says no tax on SS.

Do tell us the difference between the two Chris. Serious question.

It IS like a Ponzi scheme. People pay in, in order to pay out to other people. It always has been one. Musk & Trump have told 73 million Americans 100 times SS will not be cut, & it hasn't. You think they're telling the truth? I DO. I haven't skipped a beat on my check.
