Cruel: Elon Musk Cuts Off Social Security Benefits For Thousands Of Revolutionary War Veterans

Hitler Jr. does it again. When will the cruelty stop?

U.S. — The Department of Government Efficiency faced renewed calls for independent oversight after news broke that DOGE boss Elon Musk had callously cut off Social Security benefits for thousands of Revolutionary War veterans.

The move took place as part of DOGE's overarching crusade to identify and eliminate wasteful government spending but promised to bring the Musk-led team a new wave of negative publicity due to brave veterans of the American War of Independence now being deprived of their hard-fought benefits.

"How dare he take away the benefits we earned with our blood," said 270-year-old Arthur Breckenridge, who fought in the Battle of Yorktown in 1781. "It's only because of men like me that this South African fellow had a chance to come to this country and enjoy the fruits of our labor. Now we find out he's cutting off our Social Security? How are we supposed to live?"

Though Musk and the team at DOGE cited Social Security payments to individuals seemingly far too old to still be living as evidence of widespread fraud, Breckenridge and his fellow Revolutionary War veterans were not going to accept this indignity. "This billionaire miscreant leaves us no choice," said Thomas Halderman, a 278-year-old veteran of the Battle of Saratoga. "We shall grab our muskets and march to Tesla headquarters. Have at thee, you thieving scoundrel!"

At publishing time, DOGE was reportedly seeking a way to verify the ages and identities of the Revolutionary War veterans by asking Senator Mitch McConnell if he knew any of them from back then.

LOL. The Social Security computer system, like so much in federal government, is so antiquated it is amazing it works as well as it does. Hombre and I have never failed to get our social security checks on the third Wednesday of every month and I'm a little leery of a systems upgrade as there is almost always a glitch or two until they find and work out all the inevitable bugs.

But the government should have been doing that with any extra cash laying around instead of sending it to Peru for a transgender comic book et al.

Twice in recent memory, when I moved here and transferred my banking to a local bank, and then recently when I switched banks, after being told that I could expect my SS deposits to be delayed by as long as three months, I was pleasantly surprised to see no delay. Same for my late husband's VA Disability check.

From what I hear, Trump is a little leery of cutting off funds for the Civil War veterans, for obvious reasons.

They're intentionally making the old system look as antiquated and terrible as possible, because the agenda is to move everything toward AI / technocracy.

And even if that doesn't happen any time soon... if anyone thinks that Technocracy is even remotely a good thing, think again. It's an authoritarian, unfree system, look into it.

Here's a quote from one of the founders of the Technocracy movement:

“As far as Technocracy's ideas are concerned, we're so far left that we make Communism look bourgeois.”​

All I know is my 6x great grandpa on my father's side, a veteran of both the revolution AND the war of 1812, can't get a decent job. He just lies there, day after day....
