In this video, Colin Exelby, CFP® breaks down Elon Musk’s shocking claim about 20 million active Social Security numbers belonging to people over 100 years old. Is this a lie? If he is correct, it could be a huge deal for the solvency of the Social Security System. Join me and uncover whether this is a massive fraud, if there are millions of payments to 150 year old dead people and if there is truly a government data error.Elon Musk just exposed what could be the biggest fraud in history—claiming that over 20 million active Social Security numbers belong to people over 100 years old, far exceeding the actual centenarian population, raising serious questions about whether this is a massive government oversight, an outdated COBOL system glitch, or something more sinister; with $72 billion in improper payments from 2015-2022, is taxpayer money being diverted to fund these potentially fraudulent accounts, and should the government invest $10M to fix the system and restore trust?#SocialSecurity #ElonMusk #Fraud #Retirement #PersonalFinance #GovernmentSpending #SSN #Investing #MoneyMatters #financenews Trump and Musk Plan for Social Security Video Mentioned: 👇https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rBStWjOwokk&t=30s2023 Inspector’s General SSA Report: 👇https://oig.ssa.gov/assets/uploads/a-06-21-51022.pdf2015 Inspector’s General SSA Report: 👇https://oig-files.ssa.gov/audits/full/A-06-14-34030_0.pdf00:00-Did Elon Find Social Security Fraud?05:10-SS Fraud: Counter Arguments06:17-Social Security Data Inaccuracies09:39-Social Security Fraud: Digging Deeper10:47-Recommendations to the SS Administration15:36-Potential Implications - What This Means for YouOutstanding Personal Finance Tools👇Budgeting...👇★☆★ Rocket Money (originally called as TrueBill) ★☆★https://rocketmoney.sjv.io/CelestialWMWealth Management...👇★☆★Personal Capital ★☆★👇https://personalcapital.sjv.io/CelestialWMBookkeeping...👇★☆★Gusto Bookkeeping★☆★👇https://gusto.pxf.io/CelestialWM[About] Colin Exelby is a Certified Financial Planner Professional™ or CFP®.
