4 Lakh US Social Security Numbers Stolen

Elon Musk linked the breach to illegal immigration and voter fraud, suggesting that stolen Social Security numbers allow non-citizens to vote. He said an individual will be arrested soon for allegedly stealing and selling the personal information of four lakh people from the Social Security database, Elon Musk has said.

"I believe that someone is going to be arrested tomorrow," the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) head was heard saying in a voice note shared on X by Doge Designer.

"This is someone who actually stole 400,000 Social Security numbers and personal information from the Social Security database," he said.

Musk linked the breach to illegal immigration and voter fraud, suggesting that stolen Social Security numbers allow non-citizens to vote.

"This is a particular avenue of fraud for illegal immigrants and voter fraud because the main way that identification is established in the United States is via social security. So if you compromise the security system, you can basically get people to get the fact that they're interested to vote even if they're not citizens," Musk explained.
