Musk, DOGE say they're using access​ to Social Security data not just to probe claims of waste and fraud, but also to see if immigrants are abusing the system.

Elon Musk appeared to boast of advance knowledge of a planned arrest related to Social Security fraud, frustrating law enforcement officials, sources tell ABC News.

In a March press conference, acting Social Security Commissioner Lee Dudek said his agency loses $100 million a year to direct deposit fraud. That figure represents about 0.00625% of all Social Security payments, according to Axios. The Trump administration has struggled to find other evidence of waste or fraud in the massive agency.
