Fox Business host Elizabeth MacDonald shared a viral post detailing how the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) uncovered a major Social Security fraud operation. The agency, created under President Trump, revealed bizarre cases of unemployment benefits being claimed by people either impossibly old, extremely young, or not yet born — including one claimant born in 2154. MacDonald said the findings show the scale of corruption and why public trust in figures like Chuck Schumer is eroding.
DOGE’s report, released April 9, 2025, documented $382 million in fraudulent claims tied to fake Social Security numbers. MacDonald emphasized how this bolsters criticism from public figures like Elon Musk, who argue that the misuse of government programs is widespread and ignored by Democrats. She pointed to these revelations as evidence that DOGE and others are trying to prevent fraud, not slash benefits, contrary to claims made by top Democrats.
