Musk discovered a “bottomless pit”. This “bottomless pit” was not discovered by Space X in outer space, nor does it exist naturally on Earth, but “exists independently” in the US social security.
On February 17, local time, Musk, head of the US Department of Political Efficiency, released a set of data from the US social security database, which showed that more than 394 million people registered for social security in the United States, more than 20 million people over 100 years old, and some people were even 360 years old. Musk said this was the biggest fraud in the history of the United States. Earlier this month, Musk had said that the US social security system was paying benefits to “150-year-olds”. But judging from the data released by Musk, the real situation is even more surprising.
According to official data from the US government, the current US population is only 341 million, but the data released by Musk shows that 394 million people are registered for social security in the United States; this means that at least 50 million people exist to eat empty salaries. This “bottomless pit” does not devour matter, nor is it a “carnivore”. It specifically devours the hard-earned money of American taxpayers.
According to the data table released by Musk, among the number of people registered for social security in the United States, the number of people aged 150 to 159 is as high as 1.34 million; some people are even 360 years old! If this 360-year-old man really exists, when he was born, China’s Kangxi had just ascended to the throne; the United States would have to wait until this old man was over 100 years old before it was established!
This is not registering for social security, this is cultivating immortals in the United States! If you have cultivated immortals, do you still need to collect social security?
After seeing the data, Musk also directly criticized: “I checked the CIA, the FBI and the Pentagon before, and thought I was used to it, but I didn’t expect to be shocked this time.”
Of course, the relevant officials in charge of social security in the United States also immediately stood up and issued an official explanation: Don’t make a fuss, this is just a technical problem. To put it more bluntly, it’s not that someone is corrupt, but that there is a bug in the system. They said: This system has a default setting, that is, the dates of all empty fields will be set to 1875 by the compiler, so there are 1.34 million people aged 150 to 159.
But this argument is obviously not self-consistent, because the data table published by Musk shows that in addition to the age group of 150 to 159, there are many older ages. What’s more interesting is that the data system used by the US defense and taxation is the same as the social security system. This means that there are people who eat empty salaries in social security, and there will be no empty salaries in defense and taxation.
Although Musk is “killing all sides” in social security review, there are still many Americans who are unwilling to believe it. They are not unwilling to believe the existence of empty salaries, but they don’t believe that a world power like the United States can have 50 million empty salary quotas. This outrageous degree makes the American people feel “distorted”.
What makes it even more difficult for the American people to believe is that from medical contractors falsifying medical records to local governments obtaining federal subsidies, the United States has actually formed an underground industry chain dedicated to creating “centenarians”.
At this point, we have to mention the US social security system. The US social security relies on “three legs” to walk, and the functions and core of each leg are different.
The “first leg” is the US social security that Musk found problems with this time. It is a nationwide financial subsidy for the elderly, survivors and some disabled people of the US federal government. It can also be understood as pensions and disability subsidies. The main source of this money is the wages of the working class and the part borne by the company for employees.
In theory, this “leg” should be the most stable, but in fact this “leg” is very “lame”. According to calculations by the US Congressional Research Agency, the US social security fund pool will be exhausted in 2034. But based on what Musk has found, the speed of exhaustion will only get faster and faster, and the date of exhaustion will come earlier. The social security paid by American taxpayers today is for today’s retirees and digital ghosts who eat empty salaries.
The “second leg” is the 401k plan. This is a retirement benefit plan provided by the company to its employees, similar to corporate annuities, which is considered an auxiliary and voluntary social security. When they are young and able to work, American workers will put part of their salary into their 401k accounts, and the company will also distribute a portion of the proportion. For example, if the company’s matching ratio is 50%, then for every dollar the employee puts in, the company will give 50 cents.
It sounds quite cost-effective. But in fact, in order to pursue higher returns, 401k funds are often put into the financial market to make profits. But even if the most aggressive financial portfolio type is chosen, and only profits are made, the return rate in the past five years is only 6.8%; but in the past five years, the price of American food has risen by 28.6%.
The “third leg” is a personal private annuity. Workers can save their salaries or sell commercial pension insurance.
Among these “three legs”, the “first leg” has the widest coverage. So when the “first leg” has problems, its scope of influence is also the largest. And the 50 million digital ghosts “lying” on the books now have a great impact on ordinary Americans. The American social security system is shaking badly.
The interests involved behind this are no less than those of the Pentagon. What is involved here is the future of every American taxpayer at the bottom. For Musk, it is also a dilemma: if he advances, he may bring disaster upon himself, and if he retreats, American society may fall into instability.
Today, the United States is trying to “solve” the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, imposing tariffs on Canada, Mexico, China, etc., and is busy considering “reconstruction” and “development” for the Gaza region. But after managing it, I found that the fire in my backyard is about to burn down my home. The governance of the United States has reached the point where it has to be managed. What about the containment of China, the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict? The family is about to collapse. It is better to take care of its own mess first.
