FACTS: In the third year of Trump's presidency, there were 61,011 Social Security Administration employees. In the third year of Biden's presidency, there were 56,907 Social Security Administration employees. Did you notice any differences in services under the Biden administration with 4,104 less employees? No, you did not. Musk recommends cutting 7,000 employees along with automating much of the antiquated distribution of benefits. I knew old Lawrence was a liar, but he is going all in.

Fake news.. I got mine as usual, they are just spreading fear among people receiving it. However, there are a lot of people abuse, and defrauding SS number, so they need to root them out. Who is getting those checks for people over 150 years old…huh tell me and the American people who is cashing those checks.

@donaldbingham8990 March 29, 2025 - 7:04 pm

How can Trump create a government department without Congress being involved? 'This simply does not make sense.

@gerrybeard2558 March 29, 2025 - 7:04 pm

Trump and Musk are ruining America

@Dan-l2y2r March 29, 2025 - 7:04 pm

😂 Of COURSE legitimate Social Security Benefits are guaranteed to be paid. DOGE I'd protecting government solvency to keep Social Security SAFE! ❤😂

@johnjames2470 March 29, 2025 - 7:04 pm

Lawrence announces he can't handle reading the news and must go on vacation. Ha, ha, ha. I guess reading those DNC talking points over and over is too tough of a job for O'Donnel to handle. Meanwhile President Trump who is 7 years older than Lawrence keeps on winning. Don't worry Lawrence, nobody is going to notice your absence. In fact, you might not have a job to return to as MSDNC was recently seen shopping for monkeys to replace him.

@donnalmich8398 March 29, 2025 - 7:04 pm

SOCIAL SECURITY SHOULD NOT BE PRIVATIZED, AND “PARCELED OUT” to the “HIGHEST BIDDERS”!
THE SCHEME THAT IS GOING ON, IS NOT A PONZI SCHEME, THE ONLY SCHEME, THAT IS GOING ON IS, the ELON MUSK/DONALD TRUMP SCHEME, of ATTACKING/ASSAULTING/ and DISMANTLING OF OUR
SOCIAL SECURITY!!!

@tpnbaby March 29, 2025 - 7:04 pm

@lavinaacs7169 March 29, 2025 - 7:04 pm

What the bloody hecka-horse-crap do these new Elites intend to do with all the seniors, disabled, and already impoverished that they are stripping away the income, jobs, housing, food, and access to medical treatment from, and forcing us out into the mean streets with the other unhoused citizens? What a plan, make all citizens homeless that are not rich or of pale complexion, criminalize homelessness and poverty in general, round all the people up, and make them all disappear into the night. Is that how they want to make America Great Again? I'd like to see how these Elites think where their food, products, and services are going to come from because AI and robotics can't do it all.

@naestrebloc9849 March 29, 2025 - 7:04 pm

Is President Eisenhower getting a social security check?

@naestrebloc9849 March 29, 2025 - 7:04 pm

Keeping people’s hard earned money out of a dead recipient’s hands should be a priority for every American paying into it.

@DavidRios-bf1nf March 29, 2025 - 7:04 pm

Musk better not mess with SS. His popularity is in the toilet and Trump too. If all tariffs and unnecessary job cuts gonna save taxpayer dollars. Better hand out each taxpayer recipients a $5000 stimulus check. It
would redeem themselves for awhile.
That stimulus money would only go back into economy. People would buy
food, clothes,rent, and pay bills. Giving money back to citizens creates back revenue for the country.

@melvintaylor2888 March 29, 2025 - 7:04 pm

Lawrence O your a sore loser.

@w021353s March 29, 2025 - 7:04 pm

This is such an absurd argument. DO NOT BUY into this people! Please read your history books. No one is going to lose their benefits. The only thing Elon is doing is to cut wasteful spending…we all know ther are a lot of people who work for the government who really don't do anything…just sit around and push paper. Come on people! You know it's true!!

@jimconnoy6133 March 29, 2025 - 7:04 pm

@lindaavila4948 March 29, 2025 - 7:04 pm

Yes Lawrence. I just listened to the SS lawyer on how Pres Biden took money from SS and now they have talking points on exactly how they're going to get rid of all the employees.

If Elon Musk is doing this illegally why are they letting this happen

@dianawitty9628 March 29, 2025 - 7:04 pm

One thing doesn’t necessarily lead to another… Elon inside Social security doesn’t mean that… his premise is terror… it’s so blatant

@Mona77401 March 29, 2025 - 7:04 pm

If they are not guaranteed, then the government has performed in bad faith against all American People. This is FRAUD and THEFT. I smell a class action law suit coming like a tsunami.

@paulmcmullen5969 March 29, 2025 - 7:04 pm

Trump will be held responsible for what Musk does
