    This is a PSA to American users. Log onto SSA.gov and download a full record of your social security contribution history. If you have or have ever had a student loan, log on to studentaid.gov. You can export a full record of any loans you’ve ever taken out, your balance over time, and any forgiveness you’ve received. Do this for any interactions you’ve had with the federal government. Make sure you have copies of your old tax returns as well. The federal government can no longer be considered a reliable steward of official records.

    Your student loan balance is unlikely to go “poof,” but any forgiveness you received or past payments just might.

    Oh look, the world’s richest man being even more direct than most billionaires about taking what little the poor have away from them. There is only one of him and there are lots and lots of poor people. Maybe it’s time to remind him of this fact.

      “You let one ant stand up to us, then they all might stand up. Those puny little ants outnumber us a hundred to one. And if they ever figure that out, there goes our way of life! It’s not about food. It’s about keeping those ants in line.”

        Don’t be ridiculous, we’re not all about to lose our jobs.

        That would be way too many protestors to kill.

        They’ll do it far more slowly, or wait until the ai killbot factories are scaled up.

        lol it was always just extra income tax to anyone under 40. Only fools expected to see that money come back.

          It was always a substitute for paying to maintain your parents or grandparents in retirement. Unless you’re an immigrant, you’ve already been getting it back.

      Well, that’s a very stupid take. This is what the elitists want - getting people to turn on one another, including one age range against another…

      Don’t fall for it. The boomers paid into SS and are completely entitled to it, just like everyone else after them, too.

    Yeah, take away actual mercenaries money and then make sure their mother’s end up on the street.

    Real smart.

      Someone needs to blue shell all of his money away and deport him back to South Africa.

      Would be a shame if Elon’s hack on the treasury left a backdoor open that any good hacker can access, because then it could be used against him and his billionaire/robber baron friends.

      if only… the administration is run by greedy power-hungry asswipes that don’t and never will need social security, they just want to drain the coffers–for themselves. the republicants in congress and sitting on high benches mostly don’t, either, and are also accomplices or too scared of their own fucking shadow to do anything to stop even this.
