Report Excerpt

Pro-MAGA television host Trish Regan criticized the White House after it claimed that Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) allegedly discovered that “tens of millions” of dead people were receiving Social Security checks.

After initially being excited about that find, Regan determined that the White House “got the math all wrong.”

“Sounds like they got the math all wrong. Knew it sounded a little too good to be true,” she wrote on X.

“Sounds like WH may have misinterpreted DOGE data on social security… it seems we are NOT PAYING these benefits… rather, these people (age 150 and whatever) are just on the rolls despite no checks going out,” Regan added. “While social security records SHOULD be cleaned up, it appears this finding will have little savings effect since the checks weren’t going out.”

“Looks like the team got out over its skis on this one. Sure — clean up the records, but it’s critical to present the math CORRECTLY.”
