Nor Trump, nor Musk. I have tried to find the facts to run numbers of if, you kept the monies in the SS fund that go to the quite wealthy, it would offset removing taxation. I don't expect the Yahoos running things currently to have the ability or interest to consider adjusting and improving the system but I do think it is possible.
