Are Social Security Payments Still Safe Right Now?

If you currently receive Social Security, there’s no need to panic—payments are still going out as scheduled.

President Trump just revealed his latest target:  Social Security. That’s right—Trump is spreading misinformation and threatening to remove people who supposedly “shouldn’t be on” Social Security.

And this time, the threat is serious, as Elon Musk and his team have reportedly gained direct access to how the U.S. Treasury processes payments, including Social Security benefits.

Why Is Elon Musk Involved in Social Security?
