Lawrence O’Donnell of MSNBC did not retain anything by discussing the threat that Elon Musk poses for more than 70 million Americans who receive social security.

O’Donnell said:
The latest news of the night is that Elon Musk is now inside Social Security. And so for the first time in American history, social security payments are not guaranteed. Since the delivery of the first social security check in 1940 to the first social security recipient, Ida May Fuller, social security checks have never been.
A day late or a short film, not once. But Elon Musk’s illegal specialty when he takes over the federal government agencies is to stop payments. Thus, these 71 million people who receive social security payments each month for the first time in history can no longer be sure if the next payment is coming.
Michelle King was the acting commissioner of Social Security until yesterday or today. Rumors began to reach me early this afternoon of people with expert knowledge of the functioning of social security that the Musc coup in Social Security was underway. There is a line of succession for acting social security commissioners.
When a Social Security Commissioner leaves his duties before a new commissioner is confirmed by the Senate, the deputy commissioner will be the acting commissioner, according to this line of written succession. And that’s exactly like Michelle King. which has been part of the Social Security Administration since 1994, has taken office.
