Elon Musk's Plan to Privatize Social Security: A Disaster for Seniors

Elon Musk's Plan to Privatize Social Security: A Disaster for Seniors 🚨

There’s been a lot of chatter about Elon Musk gaining access to sensitive info at the Social Security Administration, but let's focus on the real issue here—what he wants to do to Social Security.

Musk has openly called Social Security a Ponzi scheme, and now he’s pushing to privatize it all. One of his first moves? Outsourcing the critical call centers that seniors rely on when they need help with their Social Security checks or have any questions.

Having worked in call centers myself, let me tell you: the only thing they care about is getting you off the phone as quickly as possible. Whether your issue is resolved or not doesn’t matter. All they want is to move onto the next call—and it's not about helping you. It's about squeezing out more dollars for the company.

Now, picture this: a senior trying to get their check sorted—maybe it’s late, maybe they’re trying to pay their bills—and they’re stuck talking to someone in a private call center that’s more interested in getting them off the line than solving their problem.

This is what privatizing Social Security looks like.

This is exactly why government services shouldn’t be run like businesses. When billionaires like Elon Musk start calling the shots for the most vulnerable in society, it’s a disaster waiting to happen.

Seniors are already struggling, relying on those Social Security checks to survive. They don’t need a business model that values speed over service. They need humanity, they need accountability, and they sure as hell don’t need a billionaire trying to make a profit off their backs.

Don’t let Musk or anyone else screw over our seniors. Protect Social Security. Our most vulnerable deserve better.
