“Over the past two weeks, the Social Security Administration has conducted a massive purge of its databases. About 3.2 million account holders, all aged 120+, are now marked as deceased. There is still a lot of work to be done,” according to a post on the DOGE page.
Despite the measures taken to “sanitize” the information, the U.S. Social Security databases, according to DOGE, continue to list about 9 million citizens whose ages range from 120 to 159 years old.
Earlier, the head of DOGE, the famous entrepreneur Ilon Musk, jokingly suggested that a significant number of vampires live in the U.S., thus responding to the publication of a table with age data of living Americans receiving social benefits.
According to the information presented, the lists of recipients of benefits included not only millions of citizens aged from 120 to 249 years, but also one “unique long-lived person” whose age was specified in the range from 360 to 369 years.
Earlier, United States President Donald Trump announced the creation of a new department called DOGE, which was to deal with the optimization and reduction of inefficient spending, as well as the restructuring of federal agencies. Ilon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy were appointed to head the new department. However, Ramaswamy subsequently resigned from his position.
The newswire also reports the discovery of a young man missing for 17 years in Canada through DNA testing, and that the U.S. company UPS accidentally discarded a shipment of fossils some 400 million years old.
