Musk misreads Social Security data, millions of dead people not on benefits: Experts

President Donald Trump and Elon Musk are falsely implying that millions of dead Americans are receiving Social Security benefits, experts told ABC News.
Elon Musk recently made a claim on social media suggesting that millions of deaf people are not receiving Social Security benefits, misinterpreting data from the Social Security Administration (SSA). According to experts cited in an MSN article, Musk's interpretation was incorrect. The SSA data he referenced actually shows that many deaf individuals do receive benefits, but not all are on disability benefits due to various reasons including employment, different types of benefits, or not meeting the SSA's stringent criteria for disability. The article clarifies that while some deaf individuals might not qualify for or need Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) or Supplemental Security Income (SSI), they might still be eligible for other forms of assistance or might be employed, thus not appearing in the specific data set Musk was looking at. This misunderstanding highlights the complexities of interpreting government data and the nuances in how different groups within the disability community interact with social welfare systems.
