Gee Elissa, I wonder what @elonmusk could have meant by that statement...
Congress "borrowing" from Social Security could absolutely tie into Musk’s "Ponzi scheme" comment.
Since the 1980s, Social Security has often collected more in payroll taxes than it pays out in benefits, building up a surplus in its trust fund.
By law, that surplus is invested in special U.S. Treasury securities—essentially, the government "borrows" the excess by issuing these bonds, and the Social Security Administration earns interest on them.
The borrowed funds go into the federal government’s general budget, where they’re spent on everything from defense to infrastructure. As of now, the trust fund holds about $2.7 trillion in these securities (per the latest 2024 data), but that’s projected to start dwindling as benefits outpace revenue.
Critics—like Musk might be implying—call this a shell game: the government takes Social Security’s money, spends it elsewhere, and leaves an IOU. When the trust fund needs to cash those bonds to pay retirees (which is happening now as baby boomers retire), the Treasury has to cover it with general revenue—taxes, borrowing, or cuts elsewhere.
If the system’s inflows can’t keep up and the government can’t repay easily, it starts looking like a Ponzi scheme’s unraveling: promises to later "investors" (retirees) depend on new money or debt, not saved profits.
The great and powerful @elonmusk.
If it wasn't for him we'd be fucked. He makes what I think is the most compelling case for Trump you'll hear, and I agree with him every step of the way.
For the record, yes, that's an endorsement of Trump.

Romans 1:28 MSG
Since they didn’t bother to acknowledge God, God quit bothering them and let them run loose. And then all hell broke loose: rampant evil, grabbing and grasping, vicious backstabbing. They made life hell on earth with their envy, wanton killing, bickering, and cheating. Look at them: mean-spirited, venomous, fork-tongued God-bashers. Bullies, swaggerers, insufferable windbags! They keep inventing new ways of wrecking lives. They ditch their parents when they get in the way. Stupid, slimy, cruel, cold-blooded. And it’s not as if they don’t know better. They know perfectly well they’re spitting in God’s face. And they don’t care—worse, they hand out prizes to those who do the worst things best!
About Pres Trump’s negative comments in GA about the 3 GOP constitutional officers last night: they’ve got it coming. After the past 3 years, I’m sick of the false lying media / leftwing/ Dems narrative regarding the illegally secretly recorded phone call between President Trump and GA SOS Raffensperger. I was on the call, which is now part of every leftwing media article about me since that day.
Fact: Trump’s legal team filed an election contest on Dec 4 2020. Supposed to be expedited but Chief Judge of Fulton County failed (refused?) to assign an eligible judge. So Pres Trump never got his day in Court. All the media focuses on is Pres Trump’s statement “we just have to find 12,000 votes”. The problem with that narrative is the Trump team had ALREADY found them - many many more than 12,000 votes that were included in the certified total - votes that were ILLEGAL under GA law. And shouldn’t have been counted. More than the margin between Pres Trump and Biden.
What Raffensperger has never done to this day is sit down and compare the data in the lawsuit with data from his office that he insisted proved Trump wrong. Data in the lawsuit such as:
- That the USPS records showing 18,325 votes cast from “vacant” addresses were wrong…
- That the data showing 1,000 votes cast from P.O. Boxes was wrong….
- That the data showing more than 30,000 votes cast by people who voted (illegally) from prior addresses was wrong.
And many other categories of illegal votes.
If Raffensperger was / is so confident of “his data” why wouldn’t he publish it? Why wouldn’t he be happy to share it even now to confirm his data was right and Trump’s data was wrong? Raffensperger never did that. Still won’t.
The lawsuit had already documented - “found” - well more than 12,000 illegal votes- all public record. More than 1100 pages of data and expert reports. What Pres Trump asked Raffensperger to do was LOOK at the data and the evidence in the election contest lawsuit, compare the records with persons from the Trump team. But he wouldn’t / couldn’t / can’t do that.
Raffensperger loves being adored by leftwing media so he could not afford for facts to come out. That’s why Pres Trump (rightfully!) still holds Raffensperger responsible for the mess in Georgia in 2020. Along with Gov Kemp and AG Chris Carr. They utterly failed to make absolutely certain that the results were accurate. They failed. All the American people expected then and now is accuracy. Those 3 officials didn’t do that. But NO ONE asked Raffensperger to “manufacture” votes. Asking to compare data to confirm accuracy shouldn’t be too much to ask.
Then or now.

We aren’t DNC. We aren’t GOP.
If there’s a name for us besides MAGA, it would be the Anti-Corruption Party.
Because we recognize a fact you either can’t or won’t. The entire pile of 💩 we call DC is a cesspool of corruption. It’s runs from the top to the bottom and from the most extreme left to the most extreme right.
We are DONE WITH THE BS.
I met with local farmers Cory Mellon, Alex Mueller, Hank Auza, and Robert Barkley in Yuma, Arizona. Yuma County provides 90% of the green leafy vegetables, like iceberg lettuce, arugula, spinach, and broccoli, to American tables between November and April. The tsunami of migrants walking across farm fields and defecating in irrigation canals threatens the safety of that food supply. Last year, one of their neighbors had to plow under 88 acres of broccoli and personally absorb the $10k per acre cost after migrants tainted irrigation water. #Kennedy24
