Martin O’Malley, who ran Social Security under President Joe Biden, reveals that Elon Musk is well on his way to spoiling the agency’s perfect record.

The federal government issues Social Security to noncitizens who are legally authorized to work in the U.S. so they can pay taxes. The number of new noncitizens receiving Social Security numbers rose during former President Joe Biden’s tenure because his administration created and expanded pathways for people to legally live and work in the U.

Elon Musk and his DOGE staffer blamed Democrats for “noncitizens” automatically getting Social Security numbers. The program began under Donald Trump.

Elon Musk said he will leave when his work with DOGE is done. Could he resign from DOGE soon? And how would DOGE stimulus checks be impacted?

JD Vance has dismissed reports Elon Musk is being sidelined by Donald Trump. The vice president said Mr Musk will “remain a friend and advisor to me and the president” even after his 130 days as a “special government employee” are up.

In the coming weeks, Musk will begin dialing back his role in Washington. Trump has told his inner circle and members of his Cabinet that both men have agreed he’ll be transitioning out of the administration and his polarizing role atop the DOGE initiative and stepping into a more supportive role.

President Donald Trump gave billionaire adviser Elon Musk a fresh endorsement on Thursday amid criticism of Musk's government reduction project and said he can stay "as long as he likes" but will eventually return to his businesses.

A top employee of billionaire Elon Musk who is now working in the U.S. Justice Department previously bragged about hacking and distributing pirated software, according to archived copies of his former websites reviewed by Reuters.

Elon Musk is expected to step down from his government role in Trump's DOGE initiative amid rising political backlash and internal frustrations, though he will likely remain an influential adviser.
