The acting head of the Social Security Administration (SSA) has quit! Michelle King suddenly resigned after clashing with the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). This controversial group, backed by Elon Musk, had been demanding access to top-secret government files.
Career official walks away
King, a loyal SSA veteran since 1994, left her post on Saturday. The Washington Post reports that she was swiftly replaced by Leland Dudek. He’s known for backing DOGE’s aggressive push to expose government fraud and waste.
Trump’s man ready to take over
Dudek will lead SSA until President Trump’s nominee, Frank Bisignano, secures Senate approval. The White House expects a quick confirmation. Insiders say Trump wants reformers in place, not bureaucrats who protect a broken system.
Musk’s DOGE digs deep Into SSA files
DOGE has embedded staff in multiple federal agencies, including the Treasury Department. Their mission? Find fraud and cut waste! At SSA, they sought access to highly sensitive files, just like they have elsewhere.
The SSA controls a goldmine of personal records. It tracks Social Security Numbers, banking info, job history, and even medical files for millions of Americans. With over 70 million people receiving benefits, it’s a system ripe for abuse.
It’s still unclear which specific SSA records sparked King’s dramatic exit. The White House remains tight-lipped. But one thing is clear—DOGE isn’t backing down.
White House backs Musk’s anti-fraud crusade
“President Trump has nominated the highly qualified Frank Bisignano to lead the SSA,” White House spokesperson Harrison Fields told The Post. He assured the public that an anti-fraud expert will steer the agency in the meantime.
Trump’s administration is laser-focused on rooting out corruption. “The president wants officials who serve the American people—not bureaucrats who cover up failure,” Fields declared.
Musk uncovers shocking social security scandal
Elon Musk has been on a warpath against Social Security fraud! Recently, he exposed jaw-dropping cases of 150-year-old ‘ghosts’ still collecting benefits. Even more shocking—he found suspiciously wealthy government employees who may be exploiting the system.
The Tesla and X CEO sounded the alarm on Sunday. “This might be the biggest fraud in history,” Musk posted on X. He revealed that SSA records show a mind-blowing 20 million Americans listed as over 100 years old!
$1.5 trillion at stake!
With SSA doling out $1.5 trillion in benefits each year, any fraud could be costing taxpayers billions. Trump, however, has reassured seniors—he won’t cut their benefits. Instead, he’s vowing to clean up the mess!
The SSA has refused to comment on the growing scandal. King’s resignation only adds to the mystery. What was DOGE about to uncover? And why did she walk away?
