The Social Security Administration is preparing to lay off at least 7,000 people from its workforce of 60,000 — and the final reduction in force number could be as high as 50%, according to two people familiar with the agency’s plans who are not authorized to speak publicly.

In a post on X, Musk shared a screenshot of a data sheet showing people from age 0 to 369 years old collecting Social Security benefits.

The only efficiency Elon Musk cares about is how efficiently he can take ... The hardworking civil servants at the Social Security Administration are extremely diligent in tracking the deaths of beneficiaries. Social Security spends millions of dollars ...

The agency is also restructuring and closing six of 10 regional offices that coordinate and provide support to employees who serve beneficiaries.
