Billionaire, tech mogul, and Trump administration Special Employee Elon Musk is still taking names in Washington, showing scammers what happens when they steal from the government.
In the most recent display of power from the Department of Government Efficiency, Musk announced that his office discovered a scammer who stole from hundreds of thousands of Americans, as Fox News reported.
According to the head of DOGE, the scammer, who stole from 400,000 Americans' Social Security funds, will be arrested sometime soon.
"I believe someone is going to be arrested tomorrow because there's someone who actually stole 400,000 Social Security numbers and personal information from the Social Security database," Musk said during his comments from Wisconsin on Monday evening.
This week, the state of Wisconsin is engaged in its hotly contested state Supreme Court election to decide if the state's highest court will become majority liberal or conservative.
A Wisconsin voter asked Musk if Attorney General Pam Bondi would investigate and prosecute Social Security fraud.
Musk leads the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), where he is tasked with exposing government overspending and fraud.
Last month he uncovered a "massive amount of fraud" allegedly committed by scammers who were using fake Social Security numbers to avail themselves of taxpayer dollars.
"I believe someone is going to be arrested tomorrow, because there's someone who actually stole 400,000 Social Security numbers and personal information from the Social Security database," Musk said during a tele-town hall with Wisconsin voters Monday evening.
The individual in question was reportedly "selling Social Security numbers and all the identification information in order for people to basically steal money from Social Security," he continued.
"A particular avenue of fraud for like illegal immigrants and for voter fraud, because the main way that identification is established in the United States is via Social Security," he said.
"So, if you compromise a Social Security system, you can basically get people to get de facto registered to vote, even if they're not citizens, and to get a bunch of benefits."
Near the end of last month Musk and other DOGE team members spoke to reporters at Fox News to talk about their operations and what they've found parsing through federal spending.
"They steal people's Social Security, is what happens," Musk said during a Thursday interview on Fox News' "Special Report with Bret Baier."
"They call in, they claim to be a retiree, and they convince the Social Security person on the phone to change where the money is flowing. It actually goes to some fraudster. This is happening all day, every day. And then somebody doesn't receive their Social Security, it's because of all the fraud loopholes in the Social Security system."
