Elon Musk, who heads up the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) effort to expose and eliminate wasteful spending and fraud in the federal government, is hitting back against the attacks by Democrat Sen. Chuck Schumer.
Schumer, the Senate Minority Leader, has continuously pushed the false narrative that Musk is only trying to enrich himself and claims President Trump and Musk are cutting Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid benefits for Americans.
Monday evening, Schumer posting the following raging tirade:
Trump has unleashed chaos on America…
—His tariffs hit families with largest tax hike in more than 50 years
—DOGE is sabotaging Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid
—The market is having its worst 3 days since COVID
And Congressional Republicans are going along with it all so they can cut taxes for billionaires.

Conservative X users quickly pounced. Journalist Hernando Arce asked, “How did you get so rich? estimated net worth: $85 MILLION.”
Elon Musk jumped in, writing, “Chuck, I’m starting to think you’re getting a piece of the action with the government fraud. But no, that couldn’t possibly be the reason, could it? 🤔 …”

Schumer fired back, claiming, “Another Elon lie. He wants you to think anyone who dares to stand up to him is committing fraud, meanwhile he’s taking tens of billions from the government.”

In another post, Schumer wrote, “Make no mistake: What Elon Musk is doing at Social Security is cutting benefits. And Senate Republicans are standing with him. They blocked our amendments last week to protect Social Security from DOGE and reverse the Social Security layoffs and office closures.”
“The intern running Schumer’s social media account is lying,” Musk retorted.

On Tuesday, a reporter asked Schumer for a comment on the violent attacks against Tesla. Schumer refused to answer.
However, as he was stepping into an elevator, Schumer whirled around and snarked, “I can’t talk about Tesla, but Elon Musk is a disaster for America.”

During the same time Schumer and Musk were exchanging blows, Republican Sen. Mike Lee of Utah highlighted data exposed by DOGE, showing the massive increase in social security numbers issued to NON-CITIZENS during the Biden administration. The numbers literally DOUBLED every single year.

FY 2022 – 590,193
FY 2023 – 964,163
FY 2024 – 2,095,247
“This is why the far-left is freaking out about @DOGE. It was supposed to be their little secret,” Sen. Lee wrote.

X user DogeDesigner wrote, “Democrats issued Social Security numbers to millions of criminal aliens. Below is a graph of new non-citizen Social Security numbers issued. Their plan was clear: import illegal immigrants, grant them legal status and transform America into a deep-blue socialist state.”
“100%,” Musk replied.

WATCH the jaw-dropping Fox News report below:
“DOGE found that immigration gave a work authorization document to illegals just five months after they filed for asylum. That document allowed them to work while they waited to hear whether their asylum requests were being accepted or denied. So, they could work as an illegal, knowing it would take YEARS before their case was heard. The immigration department mailed them a social security number. No interview. No proof of identity, just put it in the mail…
…DOGE also discovered that 1.3 million aliens are now receiving Medicaid. MILLIONS received drivers licenses, some registered to vote and DOGE said some actually did vote.”
🚨ASTONISHING NUMBERS🚨
NON-CITIZEN Social Security numbers issued over the past four years:
270,425 in 2021.
590,193 in 2022.
964,163 in 2023.
2,095,247 in 2024. 🤯
