Elon Musk claims his 'Department of Government Efficiency' (DOGE) will enhance Social Security by eliminating fraud, waste, and abuse. However, the validity of these claims and the potential impact on the Social Security Administration (SSA) are under scrutiny.

The Department of Government Efficiency will be allowed only limited access to Social Security data after a federal court handed a ruling that will block the agency from tapping beneficiaries’ personal identifiable information at will.

District Judge Ellen Hollander imposed a preliminary injunction heavily restricting access to Americans' government held Social Security data from Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).
