Musk called for somewhere between $500 billion to $700 billion of cuts from Social Security,Medicare and Medicaid
-- dubiously claiming that was the amount of waste they generated.

Undocumented immigrants cannot legally access benefits from these social safety net programs,
though many working in the U.S. are paying taxes toward them.

Even if a person can obtain green card status, they are disallowed from accessing benefits for at least five years.

@cdarwin but that's begging the question.

Musk's whole point is that people don't realize how much waste and fraud there really is, so pointing out the amount of waste and fraud that you realize is kind of what he's alluding to.
