In an inspiring display of patriotism, one of the nation’s top conservative lawmakers spoke out and praised the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) for uncovering major fraud and corruption within the Social Security Administration (SSA) and reportedly saving taxpayers billions of dollars.
For context, DOGE staffers, led by Elon Musk, have been working tirelessly to root out the various sources of fraud, waste, and corruption within the federal government since earlier this year. The results of the agency’s work have led to a reported $160 billion in savings, with an average of $993.79 saved per taxpayer, according to DOGE’s website.
In response to DOGE’s work, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) posted on X on April 24, 2025, to show her support for the agency and highlight the amount of fraud that the agency has identified within the Social Security Administration, which includes a reported 11 million deceased individuals on the the list of those receiving Social Security benefits.
In her post on X, Rep. Greene had only positive things to say about the Department of Government Efficiency. Rep. Greene described DOGE’s work as “amazing,” saying, “Removing 11 million dead people off Social Security stops an incredible amount of fraud.” She then added, “And it stops election fraud.”
Furthermore, Rep. Greene shared a post from the DOGE X account highlighting the details of the fraud uncovered within the SSA by their work. The DOGE account wrote, “For the past two weeks, @SocialSecurity has begun a major cleanup of their records.” They added, “Approximately 3.2 million number holders, all listed age 120+, have now been marked as deceased. More work still to be done.”
In response to Rep. Greene’s post, many conservatives shared additional support for DOGE. One commenter with the handle D.O.G.E. Memecoin wrote, “RIP Social Security Fraudsters,” and another commenter chimed in, “Thank you!!! Please send the names of those collecting to @AGPamBondi so they can be prosecuted for fraud.”
After she highlighted DOGE’s successful work, Rep. Greene went on to advocate for “cutting Biden era spending, policies, and fraud that DOGE has uncovered” in a follow-up post on X, adding, “And we should finish the reconciliation package ASAP that will pass the most critical funding legislation we are able to accomplish of energy, border, and tax legislation.” Rep. Greene concluded, “The Democrat Party is now openly the party of criminals, terrorists, MS-13, mentally ill trans, and big government control and crippling debt. My patience is wearing thin, and the people are sick of it.”

Rep. Greene’s comments praising DOGE arrived in the wake of a conservative push for the agency to “take a close look” at Senator Chuck Schumer’s use of funds allocated to woke causes in New York City. Prior to these callouts of Schumer, Elon Musk had previously shined a spotlight on Democratic politicians like Schumer and Nancy Pelosi for their potential links to corrupt government NGOs — another major source of fraudulent, wasteful spending.
