Elon Musk revealed a “mind-blowing chart” Sunday claiming millions of noncitizens are receiving Social Security numbers from the U.S. government.
At a town hall meeting in Green Bay, Wisconsin, Musk displayed a bar chart showing a steady increase from fiscal years 2021 through 2024, topping more than 2 million Social Security numbers issued to noncitizens last year.
In just the first six months of current fiscal year 2025, the Social Security Administration has issued more than 900,000 numbers to noncitizens, according to the chart. (The federal government’s fiscal year starts Oct. 1.)
“You’ll notice there’s a strange trend here where how many Social Security numbers were issued,” Musk said. “This is a mind-blowing chart.”
