President Donald Trump recently exposed what appears to be massive fraud within the Social Security Administration during a press conference. Trump read off some of the troubling findings from Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) that suggest there are people well above the age of 200 receiving Social Security benefits.
As background, Musk recently took to X, revealing the discovery within the Social Security database that millions of Americans between the ages of 100 and 200 receive payments. Specifically, it suggested nearly 1.5 million Americans between the ages of 150 and 200 were receiving benefits. However, Trump highlighted even more alarming age ranges found in the data.
Trump said, “200 to 209 years old, 879 people from 210 years old, I haven’t met any of them, and if I did, I would bless them. I would worship the ground they walk on. 210 to 219 years 866. From 220 years old to 229 years old, 1,039 and then you have two people from 240 years old to 249 years old, one person, and there’s one person that’s 360 years old. That’s just that. And then, where’s the money being spent?”
Addressing the data, Musk said, “According to the Social Security database, these are the numbers of people in each age bucket with the death field set to FALSE! Maybe Twilight is real and there are a lot of vampires collecting Social Security 
.” The post sparked outrage among conservatives on social media.
The American Tribune reported on other comments during the press conference, where he highlighted other wasteful spending at the federal level. “Where’s the money being spent? Right? Let’s go into that for just a second,” the president said. “$520 million for a consultant on the environment. It’s called Environmental Social and Governance Investments in Africa and mobilizes private sector resources. $520 million, somebody got $520 million for an environmental sounds like an environmental studies.”
Trump joked, “I’ve always been one that paid a lot of money for my environmental studies, but they, you know, I paid like $50,000 not 520 million. $520 million for ESG.” He added, “$25 million to promote biodiversity conservation and promote licit livelihoods by developing socially responsible behavior in the country of Colombia. Well, it’s nice 25 million down to Columbia for something that nobody ever heard of, $40 million to improve the social and economic inclusion of sedentary migrants.”
“$42 million for Johns Hopkins, great place, to research and drive social and behavior change in Uganda. 42 million,” Trump said, before asking why the federal government is not investing this money in domestic initiatives for American citizens. “What about us? What about social change in our country?” he asked. Watch Trump below:

Reading off the list, Trump continued, “$70 million for a center at Purdue to research university sourced, evidence based solutions to developmental challenges. I mean, these are massive numbers on things that nobody ever heard about. Ten million for Mozambique voluntary medical male circumcisions. Ten million for circumcisions in another country.”
“$9.7 million for UC Berkeley. To develop a co a cohort of Cambodian youth with enterprise driven skills. In other words, let’s teach them something about enterprise,” Trump read, before questioning again why Americans aren’t receiving this money, “What about our people? Can we teach them about enterprise?” Watch Trump’s comments here:
