Elon Musk DOGE declares victory on $382 million unemployment fraud, former government employees reply ‘old news’

Elon Musk and his Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) announced recently that they had uncovered widespread fraud in unemployment benefits, identifying tens of thousands of claims linked to individuals over 115 years old, under 5, or with birth dates in the future.

Elon Musk, shocked by the findings, posted on X: “Your tax dollars were going to pay fraudulent unemployment claims for fake people born in the future! This is so crazy that I had to read it several times before it sank in.” He highlighted a case of someone with a 2154 birth date allegedly receiving $41,000 in benefits.
