Trump's allies are pushing the White House to curb the arrival of Elon Musk's media as an attack on social security, known as the “largest Ponzi scheme of history.”
President Donald Trump has vowed that Social Security will not go anywhere, but Musk has increasingly denounced the program during media interviews, the face of the government's cost reduction committee.
“There is no sunlight between the President and Elon Musk,” a White House official posted in a statement. “The ongoing attempts to sow division in the Trump administration are desperate and nothing.”
“President Trump is clear, and the only change to Social Security is the end of the taxation on this profit for those who worked so hard to get it,” they continued.
Between him Appears on Joe Rogan's podcast In late February, masks were called Social Security.
Just a few weeks later, he again set his sights on the popular government programme Interview with Larry Kudlow on Fox Business Host.
“It's a big thing to eliminate because the waste and fraud of qualification spending, which is a large part of federal spending, is a right,” Musk said.
Some Trump allies, including Wall Street tycoons, corporate leaders and lawmakers, are calling for the White House and even the President of Trump to directly contact him, and to take masks into the air or script them. According to the NBC News Report Quoting an anonymous source.
Trump's advisor told NBC News he knew about “outside concerns” about Musk's comments.
“Of course, they don't want to cut social security,” a White House official told the outlet. “So, if you hear anything on the news Elon Musk is saying, we say we should do something with Social Security. Of course there may be some concerns. But the only concern they have to worry about is what the US president is saying and what he is doing.”
“We're not touching social security. We're not going to touch social security,” they added.
White House press secretary Caroline Leavitt doubled the president's message that Social Security would remain here.
But Musk's comments still ruffle some feathers, especially after the billionaire Tesla founders won chainsaws to several government agencies.
“Without reforming Social Security and Medicare, both programs will collapse and overthrow the government,” a Republican lawmaker told NBC. “But the last thing we need to talk about is to lightly par the system. It's not a Ponzi scheme, it's a qualification program that needs to be reformed.”
“The more interviews with these musks, the more debate,” they said, and the 2026 campaign will likely be a referendum on masks — “after the ads with the chainsaw.”
The representative of the mask did not immediately respond to a request for postal mail for comments.
This is a reference to the unforgettable image of Musk wielding a chainsaw on stage at a conservative political action conference last month, along with Argentine President Javier Miley.
But Musk's Doge also symbolically took x into what he calls futile and fraudulent spending. It seeks to cut grants to the Department of Education and shut down US International Development Agency.
Last week a federal judge blocked the closure of mask USAID and called for employees to be revived.
Social Security officials told NBC News that Musk's comments about the qualification program exacerbated concerns that the White House would move to privatize the sector.
Doge has closed several Social Security agencies and attempted to cut down phone services, so recipients need to respond to help with the changes.
These changes have increased waiting times and can be particularly difficult for older people, employees said.
