@GrayGeezer@elonmusk Unrelated to the table, retirees aren't the only people who legitimately collect social security benefits:

@ArdentlyGrant@elonmusk The Social Security Administration site has much more useful information, for example, the types of beneficiaries that get payments:

@svpino I just see a table with age ranges and presumably number of people. There's no data or proof to make any other conclusions, including the source's authenticity.
I support spending taxpayer money wisely and fairly to improve this country and its citizens. I also support due process per our Constitution. What do we have if we don't honor what this country was founded on?

@kxnomad@elonmusk Thanks for asking that last question. Other than this table likely shows age ranges and population, we can't conclude anything else without other data, context, and evidence.
@ArdentlyGrant@elonmusk Honestly, I just see a screenshot with a table of age ranges and "individuals". I don't see any data or proof that shows how many are getting payments, have SS numbers, or that the data is really from an SS database?
@BidensDirtyDypr @GinaLodabricks2@elonmusk The table shows only age ranges and individuals. We can't draw any conclusions about the number of people actually getting payments. The table might be the number of people with SS numbers. Also, where's the proof that the table actually came from an SS database?
