Summary

Staff at the Social Security Administration (SSA) warn the agency is in ā€œcomplete, utter chaosā€ due to drastic budget cuts, office closures, and job losses led by Elon Musk.

Plans to cut 7,000 jobs and centralize operations have disrupted services, with website outages and record backlogs.

Acting Commissioner Leland Dudek backs DOGE’s changes, despite union opposition and legal pushback. Critics say Musk is pushing misinformation to justify dismantling SSA.

With staffing at 50-year lows, experts fear a ā€œdeath spiralā€ and potential collapse in service delivery.

    I’m not giving them any sympathy. They voted for it.

    I already expected that I won’t get Social Security as a Millennial because of these fucks. They simply added everyone else to that list.

    My mom still refuses to believe they’ll end social security as they’ve ā€œbeen saying that for 30+ yearsā€, but I guess she’ll learn that Musk doesn’t give a shit.
