They weren’t trying to buy votes they WERE buying voters…at taxpayer expense…
Don't you dare say - the the same a-holes who killed off grandma and grandpa with Covid - didn't also bring millions of illegals.
"that the"
The left may yet succeed as those illegals are still entitled to be counted in the census…
Tax payers paid (without our permission) for illegal free stuff - and hotel rooms for illegals for years on end--> thru corrupt NGOs.
These revelations of Leftist grift should come as no surprise.
Recall: when GW Bush in 2003 during the economic downturn caused by 9-11 wanted to sequester individual's social security payments into personal funds (just like an IRA), Harry Reid, Barbara Boxer, Henry Waxman, Pelosi, and Jackson Lee all threw a fit and falsely claimed Bush was ending social security.
Rush called them out , and said they wanted to keep it as id to use as a campaign slush fund.
20 years later, he's still correct.
"Machine" is a good word for the Democrat side. They had a lot of systems set up in the bowels of DC to keep the grift going and I'm actually surprised about the gains Trump is making in conquering the Deep State.
Colorado Governor Polis(D) and his band of democrats just gave all Illegals drivers licenses in CO.
Defund and deport. all. of. them. Not just the violent illegals.
Without a doubt, this is all true. Pam Bondi needs to devote the same resources the Biden DOJ put into J6 and find the Dems who did this and start prosecuting them. And give the names of all the illegals who voted to the local US Attorneys and also prosecute the voters.
Maybe know we can finally put an end to the "without evidence" claim about voter fraud. It exists and it needs to be prosecuted.
Isn't this what the courts would not allow after 2020 election?
I you claim to be a productive member of society this is not the type of thing you want to try and rationalize with Bothsidesism or But Trump…
Well thats just Trump opinion. Who does the real POTUS, Judge Boasberg and his friends on the DC circuit, think?
Almost all civilized countries require ID to vote. Because its common sense. They also require in-person voting. because common sense.
We'd need to cleanup the election laws assuming Mitch the Bitch McConnnell -and his gang - will go along. But no one has bribed them to do that, so I'm doubtful.
You'll notice that everything good happening is because of Trump. The Republican Senate has done nothing. They wouldn't even let Trump do recess appointments.
Musk reports over 2,000,000 noncitizens received Social Security numbers in 2024... read on.

Can you claim them on your taxes as dependents?
Every stupid news item, not all news but every stupid story, about Trump is in lieu of a news investigation articulating who was actually running the "Biden-Harris" White House. We know it wasn't "Biden" and we know it wasn't "Harris" so who was it? That is the "machine" that I'd like to see described in detail so we can mark those people for life as unfit for public service in any capacity.
Are these allegations written somewhere with verified info?
Video presentations of unvetted data are a dime a dozen. Just because these claims line up with your biases doesn't make them true.
Elon promised radical transparency, yet all we get are political hit pieces without verifiable data.
Maybe your grand children will be paying for it.
wow. Watch the whole thing.
Thank you, Ann.
this is the most important video you've ever linked.
"...if the machine represented by the Kamala puppet had won."
Mixed metaphor? Machines don't operate puppets. Animatronics... they're not "puppets," are they? Seems like if a machine is used to operate an human-formed thing, the thing would be a robot.
With a republic like this, you’d think we could at least get some good bananas.
There isn't an honest breathing adult who could not see that the Democrats opening- and insisting on keeping open the borders- was not part of a longer vision, a grander plan. What the Dems managed to do in California- make it and ensure it would stay a one party state- they are trying to do to the entire nation. And with any luck, they'll put the Governor of California, the head destroyer himself, in place to oversee it.
Democratic elites are anti-human scum. They are machines.
The border crisis was not only a crime against our nation/ the tax payer - it was massive human trafficking OKed by the corrupt democratic left. All for their corrupt power.
If you vote democratic - you are as evil as they are.
Gavin's move the the center is all fake.
Who's the other guy? Elon should be doing these all over the country, not with him, but introducing these people who are extremely credible.
Some of this sounds, well, illegal. Are there any legal penalties associated with conviction for RICO acts by large groups, say, entire political parties, to do this sort of illegal activity?
If we had an honest news media - this would be the top story - all over.
Althouse above notes the mixed metaphor of machine politics and puppet candidates, and asks if animatronic candidates of machine politics would not better be called robots. Harris, in her wildest ambitions, could not aspire to animatronic robotness. She was, is, and always will be a mere puppet, handled by others, no matter the technology involved.
So we have proof of what conservatives always suspected. The big question is what can they do to stop it.
AA said: "...if the machine represented by the Kamala puppet had won." Mixed metaphor? Machines don't operate puppets."
Machine in this sense being the political machine of human party operatives, so they controlled the Kamala puppet. Except when she got drunk. That was all her, rebelling. Agree they were not represented by her but I'll give Elon a pass on his diction.
Be careful. Legal immigrants also get SSN as do some work visa. IIRC. 2 million is a small enough number to be these people.
Trust, but verify. I want to see the receipts.
William Safire, in his Safire's Political Dictionary, defines "machine politics" as "the election of officials and the passage of legislation through the power of an organization created for political action". He notes that the term is generally considered pejorative, often implying corruption.
So, the "machine" represents people and can therefore have "Puppets".

Kamalanimatronics.
Government says masks work. People just believe it. Government says mRNA vaccines work (well, with semi-annual boosters). People just believe it.
Government says violent criminal illegal gang members are being deported. How do we know the criminals or illegal immigrants? Government must stop this!
Governments says they are sending social security payments to illegals aliens that voted. How do they know they are sending them payments and how could they know they voted!
Mark, it doesn't matter if and/or when Elon provides documentation for his allegations -- the Left, when presented with evidence, refuses to believe it, accept it, or give credit to those who do the work uncovering the corruption.

Is that too hard for you to find Mark. He only refers to it in every public appearance.
Mark - Your team is corrupt and the minions are all willingly brainwashed.
Actual evidence will be ignored by your corrupt team.
Who's the other guy? Elon should be doing these all over the country, not with him, but introducing these people who are extremely credible.
Elon introduces him at the beginning. That's Antonio Gracias, who has done the digging into SSA accounts for the DOGE team. Antonio is exceedingly credible in this regard. He's a billionaire investor (and Aspen Trustee) who manages over $16B in assets for the fund he founded, Valor.
Following the money finds the purpose. Voters have been disenfranchised for decades. This time, the majority of citizens had enough money to push back against Marxism and those that acquire wealth in instituting the political system.
Mark.
Why don't you do the research and find out if this information is valid or not.
I only ask this because I notice something about you and Freder and Gadfly etc. You make an accusation, but when ask to prove your assertion you disappear.
So, just for once, to insure your intellectual honesty, why don't you prove that Musks assertion is true or false.
To the corruption supporting hive(D) (loyal) - ACTUAL EVIDENCE - is not evidence.
Real evidence is the kind of crap that emits from Rachel Maddow, Adam Schitt or Hillary Clinton.
I tend to think Musks assertion is true. My experience with hundreds of Illegal aliens has been that, "I don't need a green card. I have a social security number."
While paying for sex change operations is certainly interesting, this is a real bombshell.
In Nebraska, senior law students can practice law under supervision. What should happen is that the US Attorneys and County Attorneys around the nation should get this info from DOGE and start prosecuting these illegal aliens for voting.
Real simple case. Joe Smith lives at 1111 N. 11th Omaha. He's not a citizen, but voted in the 2024 election. Trump lost the Second Congressional district in NE by 4%.
Give each law student 100-200 cases to prosecute. All should be convicted or plead guilty. Simple cases. No intent to prove. Just prove non-citizenship and voting in 2024.
@mikee: ..."Some of this sounds, well, illegal...."
Well... there's 'illegal', and then, there's 'illegal, but unprosecuted and unpunished'. You know - like having prosecutors and AG's refusing to press charges for violent crimes, or letting rioting or shoplifting felonies go without bail. It's the same with conferring a protected status on a class of illegal immigrants, using NGOs to transport them by air to the US, and pretending that they're asylum refugees, when they're really just escaping a sh*thole country.
Power seeks to concentrate power to perpetuate itself; the Founding Fathers understood this and devised a constitution that sought to control concentration of power by division of powers and by ensuring that property would remain private and not be concentrated ("taken") by the state.
Power concentrates and perpetuates itself by concentrating and perpetuating wealth. Concentrated wealth is reactionary, that is it seeks to concentrate political power under its domination. It does not want to share with a broad franchise. Concentrated wealth understands that only political power can threaten it. Therefore it is reactionary (opposed to constitutional representative democracy).
Concentrated wealth has created a Supreme Court believing in the supremacy of concentrated wealth over the power of constitutional government to politically regulate wealth to ensure representative participative democracy by a society-wide franchise. It has ascribed human-like inalienable rights to creatures of the state created by the state's laws -- corporations -- to have political rights that magnify the political power of concentrated wealth over the political power of the voting citizens.
The Supreme Court under the John Roberts' majority has created during his long tenure a government in Washington with concentrated power responsive to the reactionary interests of concentrated wealth and contrary to the interests of a democratic majority that can democratically renew itself through popular elections.
The people have not created this dysfunctional incipient authoritarianism in the too-distant capital of Washington; the Big Money -- the great tool of concentrated wealth -- did.
Will the American people be able to democratically renew accountability in Washington by the Congress -- the Article I institution -- in the 2026 election? Both the country and the world wonder.
Kak didn't watch the video.
“Mixed metaphor? Machines don't operate puppets. Animatronics... they're not "puppets," are they? Seems like if a machine is used to operate an human-formed thing, the thing would be a robot.”
Except, at last for me, it worked. There was a political machine that generated hundreds of thousands, if not million, of votes, to win in 2020. Biden then, as President, was the front man for his time in the WH.
And yet… “investigative” journalists remain fixated on Signalgate. Don’t look at the man behind the curtain!

The trend and the huge spike in 2024 disproves this.
I hate to say this, but I bet Ben Wikler of WI knows how this was done and who did it. I'd give him immunity if he'd turn on the top DNC people who ordered this and cooked it up.
This scandal is 100x than Watergate or any other -gate.
The Dems were conducting a soft coup with illegal aliens. Kind of a big fucking deal.
Get a friggin’ clue, KaKa!
The chart says "Non-citizen Social Security Numbers Issued", but then Musk and his friend talk about illegal immigrants.
Non-citizens have been issued SSNs forever. Legal immigrants need an SSN to get a legal job.
Issuing SSNs to undocumented/illegal immigrants is what? It is illegal. If this is/was happening then the ICE or SSA officials responsible should be prosecuted.
If Musk wants to talk about SSNs given to illegal immigrants, why not present a chart giving those numbers?
the increase in SSNs to non-citizens from 270,000 to 2 million in 3 years is huge. Does Musk explain that somewhere in the video? Is he saying that the increase is all illegal immigrants? Again, if that is so, stop the practice and prosecute the agency officials responsible.
But, why obfuscate the numbers?
The two in the video (Musk and whoever was talking) are either stupid, intentionally dishonest or both. I can't tell what years each bar represents but if you look at the chart at the link, the U.S. admitted 1.17 million legal permanent residents in 2023. So right off the bat there are going to be that many new social security numbers issued to them. Of course, everyone here on a work visa or a student visa that permits employment (most allow limited employment) is going to also be issued a temporary social security number. The numbers like they had a precipitous increase simply because so few legal immigrants came through during Covid.
So these numbers are bullshit. Shame on you Althouse for propagating this alarmist, bullshit lie.
For some reason my link didn't take. here it is:
https://www.migrationpolicy.org/programs/data-hub/charts/Annual-Number-of-US-Legal-Permanent-Residents
The trend and the huge spike in 2024 disproves this.
You are ignore Covid, which caused a sharp reduction in legal immigration. Look at the chart I provided.
But, why obfuscate the numbers?
Because they think you are stupid. And a lot of people (like Althouse and most of the commenters here) will buy their bullshit because they want it to be true.
"So, just for once, to insure your intellectual honesty, why don't you prove that Musks assertion is true or false."
It is not my job to research the claim Musk made, it is his job to provide the data to support said claim.
Hell, Musk can't be trifled to publish this with supporting data in written form ... and you want to say I am the intellectually dishonest one?
Musk is doing the very thing you claim I am ... making vlaims and not backing them up. When he does, feel free to make an accusation ... but until then, its a joke.
And btw, both my parents are non-citizens who legally and legitimately received social security (in a foreign country no less) from the time they retired until their deaths.
My brother and sister-in-law became naturalized before they moved back to the UK because the rules have changed.
Foreign citizens can no longer collect social security if they retire to a foreign country (they can still collect if they remain in the U.S.).
Mark. If you're going to assert what Musk said is untrue then you are for sure obligated to disprove him. He has provided data. Now it is your job to tell us that his data is flawed in a way the proves he is wrong. You made the assertion. Now back it up. The information is there. Make use of it.
That's Antonio Gracias, who has done the digging into SSA accounts for the DOGE team. Antonio is exceedingly credible in this regard. He's a billionaire investor (and Aspen Trustee) who manages over $16B in assets for the fund he founded, Valor.
And being a billionaire investor makes him an expert in Social Security, how, exactly? Did he stay at a Holiday Inn Express? I doubt it.
Are people who come over the border with Notices To Appear getting SSNs? Elon and the guy say yes. I think they probably are too. That is the issue, giving work permission to people who make phony asylum claims.
watch the video - Freder.
If you dare.
You know, some really smart successful people become - billionaires.
We are certain you have no beef with Bill Gates, or Soros, or Buffett... etc.
You cannot face the truth - so you smear with the "but billionaire". Lame and typical.
Leftist loyalist cult Democratics don't even believe that the corrupt left allowed millions of illegal in.
The cult left are obedient to the big lie.
(estimates are upwards of as many as 11 million illegals)
Democratic Leftist cultists are especially callous and indifferent when it comes to human trafficking and child sex abuse. They just do not care.
Mark and Freder are getting their argument from The Center for American Progress.

Actually, I didn't get it from the Center for American Progress, as you can see from the link I provided (hell, you didn't even need to actually look at the website).
If you have better numbers on the number of legal immigrants and work visa holders, please provide them.
Rusty, If you're going to assert what I said is untrue then you are for sure obligated to disprove me.
You know, some really smart successful people become - billionaires.
Being smart and successful, or even a billionaire, does not make you an expert in everything.
Leaving thousands of comments on Althouse, often half a dozen or more on one post, also does not make you an expert in everything - or anything, for that matter.

I have been commenting on this site for twenty years or so. I certainly hope over that time I have not left thousands of comments. That would be sad.
But I wouldn't need to comment so much if I didn't have to defend myself from stupid comments, insults, and even threats, that have nothing to do with topic at hand.
Your stupid post is a perfect example.

Let that sink in.
One needn't act as puppeteer if a "puppet" is selected based on their puppet's own willingness to do the puppeteer's bidding based on the puppet's own "free will."
But I'm no puppeteer... I don't make things happen. Doesn't work like that... Free will, it's like butterfly wings- one touch and it never gets off the ground. I only set the stage; you pull your own strings.
And being a billionaire investor makes him an expert in Social Security, how, exactly?
I'll ask you the same thing, asshole. What makes you an expert?
Freder, saying someone who crossed the border illegally, received a Notice to Appear and then got a SSN doesn't make them a legal immigrant, even if your website categorizes it that way. The Biden administration might have treated them as if they were legal, but the American people elected Trump because they vehemently disagreed with that position. This is the debate right now, did that happen?

Nice straw man you have there.
"My" website and myself are not saying that at all. The website I linked tracks immigrants admitted as permanent legal residents (aka, those receiving a green card, which allows the people to eventually become naturalized citizens).
Republicans need to get it done. No more cancellations or campaigns to have people lose their jobs. That’s what these Democrat swine do. It’s on them and they will pay for it.
The primary evidence presented by Musk of something fishy with SSNs is a chart showing a dramatic increase in new non-citizen SSNs from 2021 to 2024, plus part of 2025. This chart showed 10x increase in these new SSNs between 2021 and 2024. One possible inference from that information is the excess non-citizen SSNs were handed out to illegal immigrants.
A commenter (who you all seem to hate) pointed out that in the base year in that chart, 2021, legal immigration was very low due to covid, thus temporarily depressing the number of new non-citizen SSNs. He provided a link to legal immigration (green card) stats up to 2023, which kind of tracked with the 2012-2023 numbers in Musk's chart.
The 2 million non-citizen SSNs in 2024 is still, to me, unexplained. The video has histrionics about illegal immigration, and statements about some arcane process resulting in SSNs being mailed to illegal immigrants who have been released pending a hearing 6 years from now (mailed to what address, I wonder).
Should I take Musk and his friend at their word about those 2 million SSNs? I don't recall them saying just where they came up with those numbers, and a google search has not revealed some press release from SSA.
Can one of you geniuses enlighten? Don't be shy.
Like most of the commenters here, I had ancestors who came to the US from "elsewhere". Most/all? came before there were legal hurdles to jump before becoming "Americans". We are ALL Americans now.
Yes, I don't favor lax immigration rules that allow folks to come here and become citizens who have no commitment to our shared values. Because it's adopting those values that makes you an American.
And unfortunately there are too many non-immigrant "Americans" who accept the benefits, but don't accept the obligations, of citizenship.
Legal immigration v Illegal.
Biden and his marionette mobsters - purposefully let in millions as a power grab. All illegal.
Sue Biden and his Soros marionettes
