Elon Musk says millions in social security database are between ages of 100 and 159

Democratic lawmakers protested outside the Social Security Administration over a potential investigation into department spending related to DOGE.

Elon Musk pointed out that millions in the Social Security database are recorded as centenarians, stating, "According to the Social Security database, these are the numbers of people in each age bucket with the death field set to FALSE!" He highlighted a chart showing over 20 million people listed as age 100 or older. Musk raised concerns about discrepancies in Social Security's payment files, claiming there are "FAR more ‘eligible’ social security numbers than there are citizens in the USA."
