The US Social Security Administration (SSA) is shifting all public communication to X (formerly Twitter) following workforce reductions driven by the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) — a controversial initiative headed by Elon Musk.
According to sources cited by WIRED, the agency will stop using press releases and mailed letters, favoring direct posts via X to keep the public informed. SSA claims this will streamline operations and reduce costs.
In a statement issued in February 2025, SSA said:

“Our 10-region model is unsustainable. We are transitioning to just 4 regions. The Headquarters structure is also outdated and inefficient.”
Musk blames SSA for billions in “erroneous payouts”
DOGE’s leader Elon Musk accused the SSA of distributing billions in wrongful payments — a claim supported by the White House. His criticism has sparked national debate about the sustainability of the US retirement system and public finances.
DOGE’s influence is growing. In March, it launched an internal investigation into the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and accessed sensitive databases.
The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) is also under scrutiny, with DOGE proposing a 20% workforce cut, potentially affecting 6,800 employees by May 15, just a month after tax season closes.

Perhaps the most radical DOGE proposal is placing the entire federal budget on the blockchain to improve transparency and accountability — allowing public tracking of how every tax dollar is spent.
