Entrepreneur Elon Musk who is in charge of the US Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) said that the US Department of the Treasury has been paying out $100 billion to unidentified individuals annually.
"Yesterday, I was told that there are currently over $100B/year of entitlements payments to individuals with no SSN or even a temporary ID number. If accurate, this is extremely suspicious," he wrote on his page on the X social network, TASS reported.
