Trump Admin Threatens to Stop Social Security If DOGE Can't Have Data

[Mr. Sparkle]

Source: Rolling Stone

Trump’s interim Social Security chief says he wants to turn off the program if Musk and DOGE can’t access Americans’ most sensitive data. Donald Trump’s interim Social Security chief suggested Thursday night he will effectively turn off the agency that manages the essential safety net program for seniors and the disabled, if Elon Musk and his so-called Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) can’t access the non-anonymized sensitive personal information and data of hundreds of millions of Americans, based on a judge’s order.

“My anti-fraud team would be DOGE affiliates. My IT staff would be DOGE affiliates,” said Lee Dudek, acting Social Security Administration (SSA) commissioner, arguing the order was too broad, according to Bloomberg News. “As it stands, I will follow it exactly and terminate access by all SSA employees to our IT systems,” he said, adding: “Really, I want to turn it off and let the courts figure out how they want to run a federal agency.”

Dudek’s threat to block SSA employees from using the agency’s IT systems — a move that could halt Social Security payments — came in response to a judge’s temporary restraining order in a case brought by the AFL-CIO labor union. The order bars Social Security Administration officials from allowing DOGE, including Musk, and the SSA’s DOGE team to access personally identifiable information. It also directs Musk and DOGE to delete from their possession all non-anonymized personal data, and bars them from having access to SSA computers or code.

Judge Ellen Lipton Hollander wrote that the SSA had likely violated administrative and privacy laws when it gave DOGE “unbridled access to the personal and private data of millions of Americans, including but not limited to Social Security numbers, medical records, mental health records, hospitalization records, drivers’ license numbers, bank and credit card information, tax information, income history, work history, birth and marriage certificates, and home and work addresses.” She added that the “defendants, with so-called experts on the DOGE Team, never identified or articulated even a single reason for which the DOGE Team needs unlimited access to SSA’s entire record systems, thereby exposing personal, confidential, sensitive, and private information that millions of Americans entrusted to their government.”

1. Why would they need any of that information?

Answer: they don't. They WANT it, either for use in AI, or to investigate/punish/harass, or to sell to highest bidders.

[Baitball Blogger]

8. I disagree. They're looking for something.

They might, in their twisted minds, believe that someone has managed to turn the SS into a private slush fund, but they haven't found that evidence yet.

[BlueKota]

14. They will plant fake evidence if they cannot find any

[Irish_Dem]

18. Yes they are doing this for specific reasons.

Selling the data, or turning it over to the private company which will be the new manager of SS.

[OG MoneyClips]

108. I don't think so

I suspect that they were going to shut down Social Security, Medicare, SNAP and Medicaid. That was the plan all along. They needed a scapegoat to pin the blame on. A judge fits that bill perfectly. When that day comes, there will be riots in the streets.

[Irish_Dem]

116. Well yes of course that is one of the specific reasons.

It is well known that Trump is going to shut down SS.
But there are other things going on with the data as well.

Welcome to DU!

[diverdownjt]

144. Or...they are putting back doors to the computer systems...

and then remotely steal all funds therein.

And with all of sensitive data they will be able to do it to all if us.

Sounds about right to me...He(trump) is the worlds greatest con man, this is what they do.

[Irish_Dem]

146. Yes I think there is a high probability of hacking the system for theft purposes.

And or selling it to our enemies.

[PatSeg]

149. Ah yes, that is also a possibility

[LetMyPeopleVote]

156. Welcome to DU

[Easterncedar]

46. They want to steal the money

That is all

[NotHardly]

58. They'll PLANT 'evidence' & then come for you.

[IbogaProject]

62. Simpler

They want to cross index the data and be selective with cutoffs, with very bad intensions.

[Hekate]

63. They'll plant stuff. But the money is what they are looking for, & they mean to have it

[returnee]

103. You mean someone beat them to it? n/t

[angrychair]

106. Sorry this is ridiculous

This isn't looking at someone's bank account. This is an incredible large and complicated system.
No known eLoon cultists are experts in government systems or bookkeeping or know anything about forensic accounting or in any way otherwise qualified to do the tasks they are doing and this is clearly evident by the "results" they have produced so far.

[diverdownjt]

145. They are hackers...it's what they do...

[PatSeg]

148. I think their objectives are far more sinister than that

I believe that they want the information for future use and they want to destroy Social Security once and for all. I'm quite sure that they know there is no major fraud; that is just an excuse to wreak havoc on a highly successful program.

[Trueblue1968]

110. Time to French Revolution Trump, MuskOx and all the GOPig politicisns !!!!

[ReRe]

120. I think another reason might be pure terrorism.

Think of the 73 million people plus their families that this would affect and how they are probably feeling right now. That excuse of a man was not elected, was not vetted, was not confirmed by the Senate, and hell, no one knows if he's a real citizen of the United States! I don't care if he is richer than God, I don't trust him! I know I have been having my 19th nervous breakdown ever since the GD election and it has only intensified since Jan 20th.

[Littlered]

152. Being a person that usually

Isn’t given to falling prey when it comes to conspiracy theories. I would imagine it is far more benign. Sounds like it has more to do with cross referencing data bases searching for fraud and or “house cleaning.” Which would be impossible without having all of the data available, personal and otherwise.

Personally, this is another area that just isn’t getting me worked up. Until PROVED otherwise. I will take them at their word. As far as it all pertains to me? Apple tells me 206 of my and my (and my wife’s) passwords have been compromised. I finally quit changing them. They get compromised within weeks again anyways. Credit wise says there are at least 14 instances of my personal information being displayed on the dark web that include my ssn. My Full name and address are on display at the BOE. I’m not sure what doge can do to me. Or even why they would care ? unless something odd came up. I dunno, maybe I’ve just reached the point of defeat and no longer care? Maybe my defense mechanisms have taken over and I can’t allow myself to face it? What I do know; it’s time for a drink. 🥃 Here’s to wishing you a wonderful day, cheers.

61. A life sentence doesn't mean that much to us old people

[Dark n Stormy Knight]

134. This is why they have massive security squads.

[ComtesseDeSpair]

147. And I'm waiting...

for one of those security squad members to Luigi Musk and/or Trump. I mean, seriously - is there NO ONE willing to go down in the history books as the one who saved the USA and prevented WWIII?

[Lovie777]

3. Wrong move...................

plenty of USA citizens are getting fed up. They feel we are hostages by terrorists know as the US government as well as the republican party.

[FakeNoose]

73. Yes, Chump is about to alienate a large number of people who voted for him

There doesn't seem to be any useful purpose in this. He won't find any illegal aliens in the SSA data.

[Wednesdays]

82. He won't find any illegal aliens, but plenty of $$$.

It's that cash, that billions (trillions?) of dollars in that fund, that is the target.

[pbmus]

139. 2.7 TRILLION

[Bengus81]

153. If there weren't all those Republicans screaming at their reps at town halls we'd know

it's really over and we're screwed but that is NOT the case. People are already fighting back and ending SS or even cutting it will be the real test of democracy.

[TommieMommy]

4. There will be a lot of pissed off people who would want to kick his ass 😡😡

[ShazzieB]

117. There will also be a lot of people thrown out on the street when they (WE) can't pay their (OUR) rent!

I'm sure a lot of them (US) will be looking for asses to kick if that happens!

[JohnSJ]

5. Are the MSM reporting this threat?

[Wingus Dingus]

13. Sounds like extortion to me.

Let us do what we want with your information or we withhold your money.

[JohnSJ]

66. Yes, or blakcmail.

[dobleremolque]

91. Extortion it is .....

[CrispyQ]

54. I would like to know what my senior relatives who listen to Fox/Newsmax/OANN are hearing.

Whenever I mentioned Project 2025 I was told I was overreacting.

[JohnSJ]

67. Ask them again in a few months. Willful ignorance of the coming storm.

[Ruby the Liberal]

124. Its only been 2 months and a day

Give it another few weeks for all of this to start hitting local.

[GAdem2016]

6. Call their bluff. You think people are mad now? Do it. I dare you. They don't call it the third rail for nothing. /nt

[BComplex]

33. No republican would EVER be elected ever again.

I'm outraged at this extortion attempt.

[Justice matters.]

74. You'd be suprised by the cruel stupidity of the uninformed.

They will vote against their own self-interests until the day they'll die.

[mdbl]

109. Especially if they are given someone to hate

[Bengus81]

154. They woke the fuck up when Hoover did nothing after the market crash in 1929

and did nothing for the next three years. FDR won all but six States in 1932 and only lost 2 States in 1936. These MAGA fools are already getting a taste of what Trump will do to them with the Medicaid cuts.

[Wednesdays]

83. "No republican would EVER be elected ever again"

Yeah, right. Fox News, The Washington Times, and hate radio will tell everyone it's all the Democrats' fault. And like obedient zombies, they will vote the same people back in again.

[BComplex]

92. You've got a point. We wouldn't be in this mess if the right didn't control the entire message in this country.

I'm sick of it all.

[Bengus81]

155. They can try but it won't work. Way to much LIGHT on Musk. Everyone know who's fucking around

in the SS Administration and making prime the pump statements like the Ponzi scheme BS. Republicans know who's responsible, hence the republican scream fest at their town halls.

[BBbats]

122. I don't think there is going to be a fair election ever again.

[BlueKota]

136. I think you're right.

The fact that no Rs seemed to be worried about the backlash they are getting is a big red flag. They heard tsf loud and clear when he said people wouldn't have to vote anymore.

[MFM008]

141. Not as long

As musk is messing with algorithms.

[BComplex]

150. And nobody has apparently done the first audit! This is the result of trump/republicans saying the 2020 election

was stollen so much that now the Dems are afraid to say it. Pretty fucking clever of the oligarchs to make this all come to pass.

[Nikossitti]

76. That was my immediate thought

The answer is no. Go and and try. Do it.

[rubbersole]

85. Do it motherfuckers.

You can't imagine how pissed off patriots will come after you. Your greed is going to be what stops you.

[Baitball Blogger]

7. This isn't passing the smell test.

They are after that data for some nefarious reason.

[Prairie_Seagull]

56. They won't tell us what the hell they want this info for.

'Might' have waste, fraud and abuse as a reason is not good enough to stop SS if you don't get your way.

We have to assume nefarious intent!

[Akoto]

9. This crap is why I'm trying desperately to leave disability. Just have to find remote work. nt

[UpInArms]

10. If they stop social security payments, it is outright theft

Of money that came from working people

[NotHardly]

37. 2nd Amendment solution in the offing if that happens

The tens of millions dependent on SS and their families and friends will have an answer for that shit.

Are we about to find out how f*cking stupid they are?

[UpInArms]

72. I don't think it wise to piss off folks who

then, have nothing to lose

[tetedur]

11. Mr. Dudek, turn it off and you figure out how you are going to imprison 100's of 1000's of seniors

who are going to riot in the streets. Maybe you will just call Hegseth to shoot them all. Do you have enough ammo? Or are you just going to drop a tactical nuke in the streets of our major cities?

Okay, this is break the glass and pull the alarm time.

[LoisB]

86. millions of seniors

[Ruby the Liberal]

126. SSA processes 72 million checks a month

[BlueKota]

12. But they promised they wouldn't if enough Democrats voted with them on their budget 🙄

[Think. Again.]

20. ....

Oh schumer, you're so funny!

[Tom Rinaldo]

15. Light the fuse, asshole, and watch it all blow up in Trump's face

Do it. Yes people will suffer, but it will be very brief, then a tidal wave will wash your kind away. Better a jolt of pain now leading to liberation than our nation being bled to death by billionaire leaches. It's not just Seniors who will turn against you, but their children and grandchildren too. Prove how viscous AND stupid you are. Do it. Even the Republican Senate won't stand for that. Trump's spell will shatter and his ultimate ugliness will be fully exposed. Go ahead, hasten your downfall.

[Dyedinthewoolliberal]

16. The idea that these numb skulls have wormed their way into the framework

of all things American ie: governmental agencies, is beginning to give me ideas. Like shutting down SSI until the courts figure it out? That is a very poor distraction job by Dudek. As head of the Agency I'm sure his responsibilities DO NOT include abandoning ship, so to speak, instead of following the ruling by the court. I guess what I'd like to see is a daily press conference led by some of our more well known D's in both Houses, highlighting the BS and calling out those who create it. At least then I might feel a little like someone is doing something to rein in the Regime aka TUSK................

[Think. Again.]

21. Dudek is not concerned with his official "responsibilities".

[Evolve Dammit]

75. in 60 days.... And he already said he wanted the economy to collapse. FAFO and yes to daily pressers. Overdue

17. Hostage taking. If the DOGE goons can't abuse the hostages, the goons will execute them.

26. Democratic leadership better acquire some courage, real Goddamn fast.

Bernie Sanders can't do it all by himself. If anything can kneecap trump and put Democrats back in power, fucking around with the whole country's Social Security payments is it. Schumer and the rest of Democratic leadership: Try not to fuck up this opportunity...

Lets do this already. Watching this 10 year old slow motion trainwreck is enough. We are the majority. Lets end this.

DOGE is clearly not doing any audits. That's just the cover story for whatever sketchy things they are actually doing.

53. Why do the want all that personal data? Is it to build an extermination list?

[Ruby the Liberal]

130. Since Musk owns the 2 largest data centers in the country

in Memphis and Atlanta, my guess is that they are going to seize the SS/Med Trust, hand it to a bunch of hedge funds and attempt to run it via AI.

That means model learning - which means large relevant data sets will need to be ingested.

Ready on Day 1.

[dchill]

55. Trump and Musk know that many of their...

... enemies are collecting Social Security. Need more clues?

[MarineCombatEngineer]

64. Yes, but so are many of his supporters. nt

[OldBaldy1701E]

102. True, but he does not care.

Those supporters who are on SS while also being sycophantic over him support him spiritually, mentally, and socially, but they cannot give him real money if he wants it, so he won't care about them. They are good for photo ops and gatherings, that is it. Ask any of those who went to that rally in the cold. He did not care about any of them once the press was gone. His peons will blindly follow whatever he says without question. They will die in the gutter asking him for forgiveness to enter heaven and never even accept that he was the cause of their demise. But they are not rich, so they do not exist for the orange gibbon.

[dchill]

131. THAT'S why they need your data!

Right before the 2024 election, I got an email telling me that who I voted for would be a matter of public record (I'm in PA). If that's true, that could be all they needed.

[spooky3]

His ass in jail if he refuses to comply with the court order.

65. We won't have to hunt them down

Can this be done by EO? I thought Congress had to authorize it. Of course, trump didn't need Congress to shut down the Dept. of Education.....

113. Did you hear about the statement Lutnick made in an interview?

It telegraphs that they are planning to cut people off.

Trump Cabinet official doubts seniors would be upset over missed Social Security payments
In the AlterNet, written by Carl Gibson
March 21, 2025

One of President Donald Trump's closest advisors is now suggesting that most of the tens of millions of Americans who rely on Social Security wouldn't be concerned if they didn't receive their benefits.
/snip
In one exchange, Lutnick — who has a net worth of approximately $2 billion according to Investopedia — suggested that the best approach to root out fraud within the Social Security Administration (SSA) was to "stop payments and listen." He also argued that only a "fraudster" would call the SSA if they missed their monthly Social Security payment.

"I describe it to people this way: Let's say Social Security didn't send out their checks this month. My mother-in-law, who is 94, she wouldn't call and complain. She just wouldn't. She'd think something got messed up, and she'll get it next month," said Lutnick, who paid for his 16,250 square-foot mansion with $25 million in cash. "A fraudster always makes the loudest noise, screaming, yelling and complaining."
/snip
Lutnick's assertion that Social Security beneficiaries would be unbothered by a missed payment ignores the fact that for millions of recipients, those monthly benefits are critical. According to the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, nearly four in 10 American adults aged 65 and up would have incomes below the official poverty line without Social Security. Alex Lawson, who is executive director of the advocacy group Social Security Works, told AlterNet that Lutnick's remarks reveal "the problem with government by the billionaires for the billionaires."

The clip from the interview is at the end of the article. Here is the link.

[Ohioboy]

127. Don't these idiots know that missing payments would crash the economy

In short order this economy would go down the toilet. People wait for their SS to buy necessities like food, gas, electricity, etc. Want to be remembered as the administration that ruined the economy? Have at it idiots.

[erpowers]

132. Let The Try

I may be wrong, but if Donald Trump and the Republicans end Social Security I think Trump and the Republicans are done. If Trump wants Republicans to lose control of Congress, ending Social Security might be the way to make that happen. It does not seem like most people want Elon Musk messing with the private financial information. Ending Social Security might just break the hold Donald Trump has on his supporters.

[Abstractartist]

133. If it was to stop

If Social Security were to stop, there would be anarchy in the streets, and the congress members who would vote for it better locate themselves into a bunker. Even the hardened MAGAs who are militia members and 2nd amendment supporters have mothers, fathers, grandparents on Social Security, and they are not going to let ANYONE MESS WITH MAMA.

Trump know this too. So does everyone in the government. Musk would be a walking target if his bs caused SS to go, and dare I say every top government leader including the Supreme Court, cabinet members, Etc would not be advised to eat dinner outside of their own kitchen.

The judge said in the ruling that the team is on a "fishing expedition" that ultimately jeopardizes Americans' personal data.

“The defense does not appear to share a privacy concern for the millions of Americans whose SSA records were made available to the DOGE affiliates, without their consent,” the judge wrote.

But the ruling goes beyond mentioning DOGE employees.

CNBC noted that the temporary restraining order "blocks the Social Security Administration, acting commissioner Leland Dudek and chief information officer Michael Russo, as well as all related agents and employees working with them, from granting access to any system containing personally identifiable information."

The judge also pointed out the irony that those working for DOGE enjoy privacy from the public.
