A massive announcement from Antonio Gracias, a successful venture capitalist and close associate of Elon Musk who works with the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) at the Social Security Administration (SSA), revealed a massive fraud operation within the SSA. According to Gracias, millions of illegal immigrants were enrolled in taxpayer-funded benefits programs during the Biden administration.
To explain the background, President Trump established DOGE in one of his earliest executive orders and tasked it with implementing cost-cutting measures across the federal government. Acting on the president’s mandate, DOGE has focused explicitly on Social Security and made several sweeping changes to address systemic fraud.
Such was shown when Antonio Gracias explained how DOGE revealed massive Social Security fraud at a public event on March 30, 2025. He began, “We started at the top of the system…to understand where all the fraud was. And there were a lot of great people there who showed us a lot of waste. And that came with a big list of stuff they’re working on… We’re like, what is this? In ’21, you see 270,000 people. It goes all the way to 1,000,024; these are noncitizens that are getting social security numbers.”
Building on that point, Gracias explained the DOGE team’s reaction. The VC added, “This literally blew us away, like we went there to find fraud, and we found this by accident. And this isn’t political…This is about America and the future of America.”
Then, he explained how these illegals were able to enter the country. He said, “When you come in the country, if you’re illegal, there’s a couple of ways to come in. You come into a port of entry, and you can tell them you’re afraid you’ll get it. They’ll give you an asylum case. You get an interview, then you get in.”
Adding to his previous points, he walked through getting a Social Security number as an illegal immigrant. He stated, “Okay, so what happens then, once you’re in the country and you’ve got asylum through one of these pathways, we map the whole thing out. You can apply for a work document. You file a 765, it’s the work form. You get this form, public 766, that’s the authorization. And then Social Security Administration automatically sends you in the mail your social security number, no interview, no ID.”

Elon Musk, who was also present on stage, added vital context. The tech CEO said, “This is worth … reiterating…People sometimes think that under the Biden administration, he was simply asleep at the switch. He wasn’t asleep… It was a massive, large-scale program to import as many illegals as possible, ultimately, to change the entire voting map of the United States and disenfranchise the American people and make it a permanent, deeply, one-party state from which there would be no escape.”
Continuing, Gracias provided proof that this was a deliberate scheme to defraud the American people. He said, “The defaults in the system, from Social Security to all of the benefit programs, have been set to max inclusion, Max pay for these people, and minimum collection. That’s what’s happening. We found 1.3 million of them already on Medicaid as an example.”
Concluding his remarks, Antonio Gracias tied this scandal to election integrity. He said, ” We’ve gone through every benefit program we went through, we found groups from this particular group of people, these 5.5 million people, in those benefit programs. And then what was really, really disturbing us was why…So we actually just took a sample and looked at voter registration records, and we found people here registered to vote … and who did vote… and we have referred them to prosecution at the Homeland Security investigation service. ”
