Elon Musk recently claimed that an individual will be arrested for stealing and selling the personal data of 4 lakh individuals from the Social Security database.
In a voice note shared on X by DogeDesigner, Musk stated, "I believe that someone is going to be arrested tomorrow." He emphasized that the breach was a significant security concern.
Musk suggested that the stolen Social Security numbers are being used to facilitate illegal immigration and voter fraud.
"This is a particular avenue of fraud... If you compromise the security system, you can basically get people to vote even if they’re not citizens," Musk alleged.
These claims have reignited political debates over election security and the role of Social Security numbers in voter verification.
The billionaire entrepreneur accused Democrats of creating policies that enable misuse of government benefits by undocumented immigrants.
There has been no official confirmation from law enforcement agencies regarding the alleged arrest or breach.
Michael Astrue, a former Social Security commissioner, criticized the administration’s handling of Social Security security, stating that key officials lacked knowledge of COBOL, the system's core programming language.
"We’re doing it the way that 22-year-old frat boys that have never seen the system think is a good idea, and that's a mistake," Astrue told NPR.
Musk’s claims have stirred controversy, but without official verification, it remains to be seen whether these allegations hold merit.
