Musk’s findings mirror a 2015 audit from the Social Security Administration Office of the Inspector General (SSA OIG), which exposed alarming gaps in record-keeping. The 2023 follow-up report confirmed that 6.5 million records of individuals aged 112 or older lacked death information.
The audit stated: “In 2015, we reported that SSA had not established controls to annotate death information… We recommended SSA add death information to approximately 1.5 million Numident records.”
But SSA rejected these recommendations, citing high costs and legal issues, arguing that “options would be costly to implement… and would create costs for data exchange partners.”
As of 2023, the SSA database still had 18 million missing death records—10% of its total—raising concerns about improper payments to deceased individuals.
The U.S. Census Bureau paints a different picture. In 2024, approximately 101,000 Americans were aged 100 or older. The Gerontology Research Group reported that, as of February 2025, only 136 Americans were supercentenarians (aged 110 or older).
Currently, the oldest living American is Naomi Whitehead, aged 114. The longest-lived American remains Sarah Knauss, who reached 119 years before passing in 1999.

For conservatives, Musk’s revelations are more evidence of government waste and incompetence. Is the Social Security Administration bleeding taxpayer dollars into the hands of ghost beneficiaries?
Musk’s exposé has triggered fresh demands for accountability. Is it time for a full-scale probe? Billions may be vanishing into thin air—or worse, the pockets of the undead.
