Speaking at the White House last week, Mr. Musk asserted without providing evidence that a cursory examination of the Social Security Administration found that people listed in its systems as being 150 years old were receiving benefits. And in a post on X on Saturday evening, Mr. Musk posted an image that he said was from a Social Security database that he suggested indicated dead people were collecting payments.
Martin O'Malley, who served as commissioner of the Social Security Administration in the Biden administration, said in an interview that the claims of Mr. Musk and his team about the agency were not true.
"They're just making" things up, he said, referring to Mr. Musk's suggestion that more than a million people in the Social Security database are in the 150 to 159 age range.
