Why is elon allowed to take over social security communications via X???

[vapor2]

Will we get our checks this month? Will there be protests over this?

1. Court case

I suspect it’s not legal.

2. Is the termination

Of 87% of SSA personnel legal?

[Meowmee]

4. Not sure why you are asking me this?

[gab13by13]

9. IMO, DOGE itself is illegal

Everything that DOGE is doing should go through Congress. Once Congress gave its authority to Musk and his cyber-punks without much of a fight, what should we expect?

The elimination of 87% of the SSA communications staff makes it impossible for Social Security to function properly. This happened last week, did Democrats raise hell? Maybe I missed it?

[Meowmee]

10. Yes agree

This post was specifically about putting communications on x etc. Everthing they have done is illegal imo so far. Who knows what will happen with all of the court cases etc.

6. So hoping it goes to court

[Meowmee]

7. Yes why would he be allowed to determine how they make announcements and on x?

[vapor2]

8. And add how many people would sign up on X??

[Skittles]

3. HOW is this not a "CONFLICT OF INTEREST"

it is absolute fucking BULLSHIT

[vapor2]

5. Totally seems illegal AND a conflict of interest!

Will have to find a job at 70 to pay for my Medicare. Oh wait, they plan to scrap that too.

17. No shit....

Nice to see you again, I missed you.
You know me well.

11. It's not just about making announcements,

it's about handling claims, changes of addresses, changes of bank accounts, filing claims.

The destruction of Social Security has begun. People are calling in and waiting 3 to 6 hours and then being disconnected. People are going to the SSA offices and being turned away because they don't have an appointment.

Dealing with SSA is a mess right now. Hopefully my wife and I don't have a need to contact them because the day our money stops being deposited in our bank, we are royally fucked.

Keep a paper copy of your benefits, they may get lost.

13. X is just announcements. they aren't doing any of that other stuff on X. n/t

[Tickle]

18. Waiting 3 hours and

being disconnected was happening well before this year, at least with me.

20. So they couldn't defund SS so they're going to screw up the machine, these people are demitted

[yellow dahlia]

12. I keep asking this question.

I am trying to put together a protest at my local SS office on Tuesday.

Recent developments make good fodder for signage.

I also plan to reach out to many Congress critters, including those who are not from my state.

14. The merger of state and corporate power...

[Dave says]

15. C O R R U P T I O N ???

[ibegurpard]

16. Because tge Republican Party is utterly corrupt

And they control everything

[Melon]

19. This is fake. SS sent out a communication on this when this story started being spread

Communication from social Security will be the same as always. Social security rebutted under this post from wired which was a “scoop” not fact.
