Musk posted repeatedly and Fox viewers (like my 81yo dad) embraced and clinged to the headlines that DOGE uncovered $4T+ SSA fraud and that were paying more benefits (not entitlements) to dead people than living people. Totally false!!

And they want us to prove that their lies are untrue, friggin crazy people. I told my dad I was really disappointed with him. That went well.

I monitor Fauxnews and notnewsmax, and then I fact check on social media. It is painful to watch. They are so creepy and good at their brainwashing - sorry about your dad.
