In a revealing podcast interview, a leading figure at the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) disclosed a startling finding regarding the corruption within the US Social Security Administration. This insightful individual is venture capitalist Antonio Gracias, a long-time associate of Elon Musk, who has joined DOGE in its mission to address wasteful government expenditures. Gracias uncovered a level of fraud that far exceeded expectations.

To provide context, DOGE has been diligently working since January to expose and rectify instances of federal corruption and inefficiency. The department’s initiatives have reportedly resulted in billions of dollars in savings and significant reforms in the leadership structures of federal agencies, including USAID.

During his appearance on the All-In podcast, Mr. Gracias elaborated on the alarming discoveries stemming from his investigation. He focused on a program initially established to grant Medicaid access to asylum seekers, stating, “This program was intended for individuals we wish to admit, such as those in the Care Program, which includes Afghans. The question arises: why did this program expand so rapidly? That’s what we investigated.”

As he continued to discuss his findings, Mr. Gracias pointed out clear instances of abuse and mismanagement within the program. He remarked, “What we discovered is that a legitimate program was, in fact, misused. It allowed individuals who were undocumented at the border to enter the country legally. At times, they were issued notices to appear, which permitted them to enter the country and schedule a court date that could be six years away.”

In the most shocking revelation of the interview, Mr. Gracias described how asylum seekers were automatically issued Social Security cards due to the flaws in the system. He explained, “While you’re waiting for your court date…”To complete his explanation, Mr. Gracias informed the interviewer about the astonishing number of individuals who accessed these benefits without undergoing any formal application process. He stated, “We discovered that every benefit utilized by these individuals, 1.3 million of whom are currently enrolled in Medicaid, is just beginning to escalate.”

At the conclusion of the podcast interview excerpt shared on X, Mr. Gracias conveyed his personal astonishment regarding the findings of his investigation. He also ominously suggested that there could be even more serious instances of corruption within the Social Security Administration, remarking, “If I hadn’t witnessed it myself, I wouldn’t believe it, and this is merely the tip of the iceberg.” In a post about the interview on X, the Amuse account described the clip with the caption, “Antonio Gracias, a billionaire and significant Democratic donor, dedicated his time to uncovering ways to improve the Social Security Administration. What he has discovered is nothing less than a criminal enterprise
