Antonio Gracias, a venture capitalist involved with Elon Musk's DOGE, said millions of illegal immigrants have been given Social Security numbers over the past four years, enabling them to sign up for Medicare and vote.
"If I hadn’t seen this myself, I’m not sure I’d have believed it. I went through it myself, mapped it, and Elon is right—this is true," Gracias said at a GOTV event in Wisconsin on Sunday.
They claim DOGE found 20 million dead people marked as alive by Social Security and that the number of Social Security numbers issued in 2024 was nearly ten times the number issued in 2021.
"In 2021, you see 270,000 people; it goes all the way to 2.1 million in 2024. These are noncitizens getting Social Security numbers," Gracias said. "This literally blew us away—like, we went there to find fraud, and we found this by accident."
