After his election, Donald Trump promised not to touch Social Security, but his ally Elon Musk has been criticizing the program and advocating for its elimination. Musk’s comments have raised concerns within the GOP, with some questioning if he should do fewer media interviews. Musk referred to Social Security as a “Ponzi scheme” and claimed it was riddled with waste and fraud. While some Republicans are worried about Musk’s stance, the White House insists that Trump’s promise not to touch Social Security remains unchanged. Musk’s plans to cut federal spending through the U.S. DOGE Service, leading to changes at the Social Security Administration, has sparked bipartisan concern. Democrats fear that Trump and Musk are working together to undermine Social Security in order to privatize or downsize the program. Social Security employees are worried about the impact of Musk’s policies on beneficiaries’ access to benefits. Despite the concerns, Trump’s administration has made it clear that Social Security will not be cut. The battle to prevent Trump and Musk from diminishing Social Security has become a common cause among Democrats. Amidst political disagreements, preserving Social Security has become a unifying force within the party.
