Elon Musk has sharply criticized government efficiency, Social Security fraud, and U.S. foreign aid policy

Elon Musk has recently voiced sharp criticism regarding government efficiency, Social Security fraud, and U.S. foreign aid policy. In an interview with Bret Baier on Fox News, he claimed that 40% of the phone calls received by the Social Security Administration (SSA) are from fraudsters attempting to alter direct deposit information.

A DOGE engineer echoed this sentiment, stating, “We learned that 40% of the calls they get are from fraudsters… almost half.” Musk asserts that DOGE (Department of Government Efficiency) aims to address such issues to benefit legitimate recipients.

Under DOGE, Musk advocates for government cuts and updating outdated IT systems. The Washington Post notes that DOGE has implemented reductions in agencies like USAID and SSA, though experts argue that the “fraud” label is exaggerated.

On March 27, 2025, Musk posted on X, “DOGE is bringing a revolution to government, potentially bigger than the American Revolution.” Regarding foreign aid, Musk has criticized support for Ukraine and targeted Senator Mark Kelly.

Kelly advocated for aid to Ukraine, prompting Musk to call him a “traitor” on X. Kelly responded, “Elon, defending freedom is what makes America great.” Musk also labeled USAID a “criminal organization” without evidence. These remarks highlight his outspokenness and stance against government inefficiencies.
