Musk goons tell SS that recipients purged in error can be "reinstated" if they "come into the office with ID"

[Miles Archer]

“We have people who did not receive benefits come in every day with their ID and say, ‘I’m not dead, I’m alive!” says Rennie Glasgow, a claims technical analyst with 15 years of experience at the agency who handles the most challenging cases at the Schenectady office.

These supposed dead are not to be confused with more than 6,000 living immigrants the Trump administration moved to the SSA Death Master File (DMF) in an attempt to force them to self-deport by depriving them of the ability to work legally.

Many more American citizens were wrongly consigned to the DMF after Elon Musk’s DOGE goons bullied their way onto the SSA’s databases and mistakenly decided that “countless” people listed as 120 years old and older were receiving benefits.

“[DOGE staffers] went into the system and they killed off people,” Glasgow told the Daily Beast. “About 4 million people, they marked them as dead. But they’re not sure if those people were supposed to be marked as dead, so they’re sending us an email saying, ‘If these people come into the office with their identification, you can reinstate them.’”

1. And just who is left in the offices to handle all those people coming in?

Those not let go will be so overburdened they may suffer stress related problems or end up quitting.

[SheltieLover]

2. And which offices have been closed?

[dchill]

3. What I want to know is; who died and left DOGE in charge?

No more free oopsies.

7. Oopsies is way too cute a word for what Doge

and this whole regime is trying to pull.
How long will these techno thugs be showing up at agencies, terrifying the employees and the public, then trying to "erase the mistake" when they go to far, which seems to happen daily.

[dchill]

8. In this case, I think it's safe to assume that "oopsie"...

...is used sardonically and/or cynically. But that's me.

[yorkster]

10. You may be right. I think when Rachel used it

several times the other night, it struck me as a bit too silly in tone for the gravity of the matter. She did do a great job of enumerating most of what has taken place in the first 100 days, focusing on doge actions that were reversed a day or two later.
Hope I didn't sound preachy...I'm anxious about all this, along with millions of other people, of course. I think they're greasing the skids for the privatization of Social Security and more.

[Miles Archer]

12. It's a combination of things.

1). Musk often treats himself to drugs with hallucinatory properties.
2). Musk has no idea of how the federal government works.
3). In the case of Social Security, his intent was to damage the organization internally so that it would collapse, he'd say "OOOPS. It's BROKEN. I must fix it. Let's PRIVATIZE it," even though HE is the one who BROKE it.

Americans are supposed to be SO IGNORANT AND CLUELESS that they can't SEE his BRILLIANT Machiavellian moves.

In reality, he's an ignorant, drugged, unlelected immigrant with a lot of props for his selfies.

[yorkster]

16. Yes. After decades of saying government is

broken, go in and break it, with goodies for all sides except the people in need of the govt. goods and services.

[BOSSHOG]

4. This evil is sanctioned by the Republican party

If it wasn’t, this activity would have been stopped long ago. They are afraid of trump because they lack spines. My 19 year old father in law stormed Omaha Beach D Day 1944. He did his duty, sustained serious injuries and lived to tell his story. Chickenshit garbage like fake Christian Mike Johnson has only one excuse for not acting. He’s a coward.

A side note. My father in law died in 2004. He had the utmost disdain for republicans long before trump came along. Love Ya Dad.

5. Trap .....

[GemDigger]

6. Hmm

Like the police use "You won a bunch of money, call blah blah blah to collect" and then cops arrest them.

[sakabatou]

9. Why do I feel like this is some sort of trap?

[Miles Archer]

13. I'm sure ICE agents will be stationed at remaining SS field offices

1). OK, let me see here. This says that you were receiving Social Security, and that your payments stopped. I can also see that you're BROWN (whistles, agents descend and take the person to a waiting van). NEXT!

[yellowcanine]

11. Kafka could write a novel.

Being in the SS death file could invalidate their Real ID, passport, etc. What then??

[malaise]

14. The worst things about Muskrat are his beliefs that his skin color

and money make him more American than people whose ancestors were dragged there centuries ago. His fall will be greeted with a glorious celebration.

Elon Musk’s father reveals the reason his son is ‘not cut out for politics’

Errol Musk says his son would struggle to deal with a broad spectrum of people that public office demands

https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/elon-errol-musk-poltics-cabinet-meeting-doge-b2705037.html

“Elon is not cut out for politics,” Errol Musk said Monday. “Politics is where you have to deal with everyone, from the very incredibly clever to the very somewhat not clever, the highly sophisticated to the very unsophisticated. If you can’t do that, don’t get into politics.”

“No, he hasn’t been a good father. The first child was too much with nannies and died in the care of a nanny,” he said of Nevada Alexander Musk who died at 10 weeks old from Sudden Death Syndrome.

“If Elon hears this, he’s going to shoot me or something,” he added. “Then he had five children, each one had their own nanny. It was a weird situation. He didn’t spend enough time with them.”
