Summary
Former Social Security (SSA) Commissioner Martin O’Malley explains how Donald Trump, Elon Musk, and their allies are deliberately sabotaging Social Security by underfunding the agency, cutting jobs, and spreading misinformation. Their goal is to cripple the program, turn public opinion against it, and ultimately privatize it for the benefit of billionaires. Musk falsely claims SSA is a “Ponzi scheme” and funds undocumented immigrants, while in reality, undocumented workers contribute billions without receiving benefits. The real solution to future funding concerns is simple: make the wealthy pay their fair share.
Key Takeaways
- Deliberate Sabotage: Trump and Musk are working to collapse the Social Security Administration by cutting 7,000 jobs and underfunding the agency.
- Misinformation Campaign: Musk falsely claims SSA funds, dead people and undocumented immigrants, despite evidence proving otherwise.
- Manufactured Crisis: The system is under strain because of intentional budget cuts, not because it is failing independently.
- Simple Solutions Exist: Removing the earnings cap on payroll taxes would fully fund SSA for generations.
- Billionaire Greed: The ultimate goal is to dismantle SSA and hand its funds over to Wall Street, benefiting the ultra-rich at the expense of working Americans.
The attacks on SSA are not about fixing inefficiencies; they are about robbing Americans of their hard-earned benefits to enrich billionaires. Trump, Musk, and their Republican enablers want to break the system so they can privatize it, funneling trillions into corporate hands. This is a fight for economic justice—Americans must rise up, reject the lies, and demand that Social Security remains a strong, public program for all. Please watch the entire video.
