Despite his promises that “Social Security will not be touched” Musk’s DOGE chainsaw is tearing into the agency firing staff and closing dozens of offices.

As billionaire Trump advisor Elon Musk continues to fire staff, cancel contracts, and eliminate office leases across the federal government, retirees, Social Security advocates, and Democratic politicians are fretting about what could happen to the agency that delivers cash benefits to some 73 million Americans each month—one charged with paying out $1.

Multiple federal agencies are pushing back against Musk's demand that workers justify their recent performance to keep their jobs.

The Office of Personnel Management told HR officials that employees wouldn’t be let go for not replying to an email asking what they did last week.
