92. The blowback if he does try will be tremendous.

I believe - and I hope - that he will fail in his attempt to destroy Social Security. The new Trump administration has seen some blowback already at some of the things they've done, and they appear to have backed off, at least according to what I've seen on the Rachel Maddow show. Musk is playing with radioactive Play-Doh here; he's going to burn himself.
