Elon Musk accused Senate Democrat Leader Chuck Schumer of somehow profiting off of government fraud in an explosive new insult.
“Chuck, I’m starting to think you’re getting a piece of the action with the government fraud. But no, that couldn’t possibly be the reason, could it?” Musk posted early Tuesday morning.
Musk, who has been leading the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) effort to expose waste, fraud and abuse in the federal government, made the comment in response to a Monday X post in which Schumer accused DOGE of “sabotaging” Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid — the post reflected sentiments Schumer had conveyed during a Senate speech.
Schumer fired back in response to Musk’s suggestion he could be benefiting from government fraud.
“Another Elon lie. He wants you to think anyone who dares to stand up to him is committing fraud, meanwhile he’s taking tens of billions from the government,” Schumer declared in a post on Tuesday.
Early Tuesday morning, Musk fired off a response to a post in which Schumer suggested that Musk is slashing Social Security benefits.
“Make no mistake: What Elon Musk is doing at Social Security is cutting benefits,” Schumer said in a post on Monday, which echoed his speech.
“The intern running Schumer’s social media account is lying,” Musk shot back Tuesday on X.
During the speech, Schumer claimed that “Elon Musk is cutting Social Security benefits.”
“When offices close down, when websites crash, when phone lines shut off, that’s no different than cutting benefits,” Schumer said.
Hell, they’re all a bunch of F-N crooks!
You are so right, I read all about this last night. They have the goods on him.
Yep, he is cutting the benefits of those not qualified to get them in the first place. No more side action to be had, huh?
A fact which the Dems and their pathetic media will never admit.
He didn’t help the people that needed it, he used it for himself, like extravagant vacations. I watched it last night.
They are all crooks and corrupt. Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely
Schumer should have been forced to step down when he threatened conservative Supreme Court Justices on the steps of the Supreme Court (yelling, you’ll reap the whirlwind) as the nation’s highest court was preparing to get rid of a bad, unconstitutional law, Roe v. Wade. He’s a bully and a liar. He knows Musk doesn’t have the power to touch Social Security payments. His DOGE team has “read only” authority– any suggestions they make go to Trump and Cabinet heads who make the decisions based on the information they receive. Every American citizen’s benefits are being protected by DOGE’s efforts to root out waste, fraud & abuse. Democrats used to be for that too- except now because Trump’s actually doing it!!
The results of DOGE will be Social security will last longer,and maybe without the fraud more monies will be available to the public.
KM – yep – and if the dems were to pay back the SS trust fund monies they stole er um ‘borrowed’ back in the Reagan era the fund would likely be self sustaining. Never mind all of the centenarians currently receiving ss disbursements – there ain’t that many of them around.
