Summary

Elon Musk sparked alarm among law enforcement by publicly revealing details of a planned Social Security fraud arrest during a livestream supporting a Wisconsin Supreme Court candidate.

Musk claimed knowledge of a suspect accused of stealing 400,000 Social Security numbers, raising concerns from federal officials over breaching investigative confidentiality.

Musk’s comments echoed unverified claims of undocumented immigrants defrauding benefits and voting.

DOJ declined to comment, while insiders worry Musk’s disclosures jeopardize sensitive operations.

    Lol. This pussy ass country is so susceptible to wealthy people. Like, I get it. Money talks. But giving a fucking unelected immigrant clearance to so much shit that is supposed to require strict security clearances.

    We’re just giving everything away. We aren’t even bargaining. We’re just letting people with big numbers in their bank accounts rape us without using any leverage against them at all.

    Pathetic country on its way down.

    It’s almost like we shouldn’t be sharing this shit with unelected South African billionaires without clearance.

    Maybe that’s a good reason to stop providing classified intel to an unelected, unconfirmed official who has taken no oath to defend the Constitution of the United States.

      Musk is also a profoundly stupid man with the emotional maturity of an unloved 13 year old boy. He’ll do anything to try to fill the void in his heart. Well, anything except be a decent person, I guess.

        I actually feel like the kind of damage Musk presents could actually be healed by therapy, but he would really have to want that change and he doesn’t, or can’t see it. I’m not sure he ever will either.

        A lot of scummy people you get the sense that there’s literally no hope for them (which also probably isn’t true, everyone has hope, but as little as possible hope)

      And to me it appears like this has nothing to do with social security fraud, unless he’s getting 400k checks every month. That’s your run of the mill identity theft case.

    Probably on purpose so the investigation is tainted and they suddenly won’t be able to prove it… which they probably couldn’t have to begin with, and this will be the excuse.
