Summary

Former Social Security Commissioner Martin O’Malley warns that staffing and funding cuts under Elon Musk could cause Social Security payments to halt within 30 to 90 days.

The SSA is reducing its workforce and closing offices, prompting concerns from Democrats, who accuse the Trump administration of trying to dismantle the program.

O’Malley predicts a major political backlash if payments are interrupted.

Meanwhile, leadership changes at SSA have added further instability, with no confirmed commissioner in place.

      Yea, there’s a Japanese film that came out around the same time with a similar premise that is also really good.
