Elon Musk praised Doge's clearance of the social security database, which millions of impossible Americans still had in the file.
The Ministry of Government Efficiency, led by the billionaire 'First Buddy', discovered last month that the system for the American Social Security Administration included millions of people over the age of 120 and even some in their 200s and 300s.
Musk jokes called the efforts to remove these records a clearing of the 'Dead People database'.
The Doge X account posted at night that the team has marked in the past two weeks as deceased 3.2 million people from the SSA database mentioned about the age of 120 years.
However, millions are still mentioned as life in these age brackets that the team works to remove.
The Ministry of Government Efficiency of Elon Musk (Doge) has so far marked 3.2 million people in the social security database as dead who were previously in the system as life
DOGE discovered that the American Social Security Administration had millions of people in its database for benefits that were eligible people over 120 years old
An example is the age range of 150-159 in the database that had 1,357,967 on 8 March, a living. By March 17, the count in that category fell by 186,415 to a total of 1,171,552.
In that two -week period in March, DOG was able to mark 3,261,057 people as killing who were previously in the social security system as part of the 'Living Count' between the ages of 120 and 159.
“More work to do,” noted the cost -saving group.
Although the millions clearly dead people are still in the system that are eligible for benefits, that does not necessarily mean that money is distributed among those individuals.
Since President Donald Trump came back to power in January, his newly created DOG billions in government contracts have reduced to private industry, thousands of federal jobs and even entire agencies shed – such as USaid.
Musk has promised to make even more cuts and to reduce waste and abuse of the government.

During an interview that was released this week on the Podcast of Texas Senator Ted Cruz, Musk said that the majority of the problem that his group in the federal government identifies a general sense of waste of taxpayer dollars and not a deliberate abuse of money.
“What is the waste / fraud ratio?” Musk presented in the sit-down at the Republican Senator.
“In my opinion it is as 80 percent waste, 20 percent fraud,” he revealed. “But you have this kind of gray areas.”
'Would be an example – so we saw many payments from the treasury that had no payment code and no explanation for the payment. And then we try to find out what that payment is and we would see that okay, that contract was supposed to be concluded, but someone forgot to conclude that contract, and so the company always received money, “he noticed.
“Is that waste or fraud?” Asked Musk.
Cruz replied that it was 'both'.
