Elon Musk EXPOSES massive Social Security fraud among noncitizens
At an America PAC town hall in Wisconsin this week, Elon Musk took the opportunity to reveal a serious truth bomb — which is that millions of noncitizens receive Social Security numbers.
Musk was joined on stage by fellow billionaire Antonio Gracias, who is the CEO and CIO of Valor Equity Partners.
“Once you’re in the country, and you’ve got asylum through one of these pathways, we’ve mapped the whole thing out; you can apply for a work document. You file a 765, it’s the work form. You get this form called the 766, that’s the authorization, and then the Social Security Administration automatically sends you in the mail your Social Security number,” Gracias told the audience.
“No interview, no ID,” Gracias added, before Musk chimed in.
“This is worth just reiterating,” Musk said. “People sometimes think that under the Biden administration that he was simply asleep at the switch. He wasn’t asleep at the switch. It was a massive large-scale program to import as many illegals as possible.”
“Ultimately, to change the entire voting map of the United States, disenfranchise the American people, and make it a permanent, deep-blue one-party state from which there would be no escape,” he added.
Some hecklers did manage to get into the town hall, and Musk then called them out accordingly.
“It was inevitable that at least a few Soros operatives would be in the audience,” Musk said to laughter. “Give my regards to George; say hi to George for me,” he added, before chanting “USA” along with the crowd.
Jill Savage of “Blaze News Tonight” is impressed.
“He is the best form of communication that we have going on the right,” Savage says. “So good.”

Watch: Suspect accused of scrawling swastika into Tesla sings a different tune when confronted by EV owner
A Pennsylvania man is accused of scrawling a swastika into the side of a Tesla in what appears to be the latest act of far-left fury against the car brand led by Elon Musk.
The apparent act of vandalism occurred in the parking lot of the Planet Fitness in Doylestown around 9:30 a.m. on March 24, according to police.
'Obviously, I have something against Elon Musk.'
The Doylestown Republican Committee shared video of a man vandalizing the Tesla vehicle on Facebook.
The suspect is seen in the video getting out of his Lexus, which is parked next to the Tesla, and looking all around before crouching down. However, the Tesla's surveillance system caught the man marking a swastika into the side of the vehicle while he was ducking down to avoid being spotted.
Tesla vehicles have a "sentry mode," a security feature that utilizes the car's cameras and sensors to record activity around the vehicle when parked. In recent weeks, many Tesla vandals have been caught red-handed defacing electric vehicles by way of the sentry mode surveillance system.
Police said the suspect put "scratches into the side of the Tesla using an unknown object."
The Tesla owner allegedly didn't realize that his car had been defaced until he arrived at home. The alleged victim reviewed the sentry mode footage and saw what had happened in the Planet Fitness parking lot.
The Tesla owner notified the police.
A video allegedly shows the Tesla owner confronting the suspect, who is accused of carving a swastika into the car.
The suspect in the video, which was livestreamed to Facebook, said, "I can wipe it off with a towel — it's not a key, it's a crayon."
"It didn't even work," the man told the owner.
The alleged suspect sings a different tune and gets very concerned when the Tesla owner explains that his car is being fingerprinted by the police "right now."
The suspect urgently asks, "What do you mean it's being fingerprinted?"
The Tesla owner said the police were trying to "track" down the suspect, but added that users on Facebook were able to track him down.
The Tesla owner insisted that the alleged suspect apologize for writing a swastika on his car.
“I’m sorry. I have nothing against your car, and I have nothing against you," the suspect is heard saying on video, according to the New York Post.
The Tesla owner pressed the alleged suspect on why he would scratch a swastika in his car.
"Obviously, I have something against Elon Musk," the alleged suspect says.
The Tesla owner fired back: "Does Elon Musk own that car?"
The alleged suspect confessed that his actions were "misguided."
Police noted that the suspect — 55-year-old Chadd Ritenbaugh — was identified by his gym membership identification card and his Pennsylvania driver's license.
The Central Bucks Regional Police Department said in a statement, "Planet Fitness staff was able to identify the suspect by his membership. The video camera at 09:24 hours on March 24, 2025, shows the suspect walking into Planet Fitness wearing the same clothes and carrying the same bag from the Tesla video camera footage. He scans his membership card with the front desk staff and proceeds into the gym."
A criminal complaint was filed, and the Central Bucks Regional Police Department issued an arrest warrant for Ritenbaugh on Thursday, according to the Philadelphia Inquirer.
Ritenbaugh was hit with charges of criminal mischief, disorderly conduct, and two counts of harassment.
The Doylestown Republican Committee claimed that Democrats in the area have "embraced the left's recent tactics of using intimidation, violence, and destruction."
"Condemning political violence, intimidation, violence, destruction, and swastikas should be a no brainer. The silence of elected Democrats in the borough and township over this act speaks volumes," Doylestown Republican Committee Communications Chair Ed Sheppard said. "It should worry every resident of Doylestown that the Doylestown Democrats have become so extreme that this kind of behavior & mentality now has a home here."
The Bucks County Democratic Committee organized a protest against Elon Musk at the county's only Tesla dealership on March 22.
Liberals are furious because Musk wants to slash wasteful and fraudulent spending by the federal bureaucracy by way of the Department of Government Efficiency.
There have been several acts of vandalism against Tesla vehicles, dealerships, and charging stations by left-leaning dissidents in recent weeks.
As Blaze News reported on Monday, a 61-year-old Tesla driver said this week that she was terrorized by a motorist while driving in Arizona.
A 70-year-old man at a Tesla protest has been accused of ramming a car into a counterprotester in Idaho.
A California man was allegedly caught keying a Tesla last month.
The FBI has responded to the terrorist threats against Tesla by launching a task force.

Not Even Elon Musk’s Money Can Buy A Kid The Benefits Of Married Parents

RFK Jr., McMahon share plans to slash government bloat with Sara Gonzales of BlazeTV
In an interview with BlazeTV host Sara Gonzales, Department of Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Department of Education Secretary Linda McMahon shared how their respective agencies are working to eliminate bureaucracy.
On a Monday episode of "Sara Gonzales Unfiltered," Kennedy and McMahon detailed the excessive bloat they have discovered at HHS and the Education Department.
Kennedy told Gonzales, "We have a sprawling bureaucracy that has all kinds of redundancies and a lot of administrative costs."
He explained that HHS under the Biden administration saw a 38% budget increase and a 17% increase in staff despite declining public health.
'Who would have thought four years ago that we could actually have done an audit of the United States government through people who are volunteering to come in and do it?'
Kennedy noted that he plans to consolidate the agency's more than 100 communications, 40 IT, and 40 human resources departments. He stated that with the extreme bloat, the agency had become "impossible" to govern, inspire, and unify its mission.
"These different agencies' divisions were living in silos. And sometimes they devolved into kind of fiefdoms where they were at war with each other," he continued. "I found out that medical information that is collected by one silo, they then sell it to the other groups in my agency, instead of sharing it and saying, 'How do we use this in a way to improve patient care? How do we use it in a way to make people healthy?'"
"We're cutting down 28 divisions into 15," he added.
Kennedy told Gonzales that under the Trump administration, HHS would focus on cleaning up the nation's food supply, including improving baby formula, ending the use of Generally Recognized as Safe standards, and removing dyes, chemicals, and seed oils contributing to the chronic disease epidemic.
He also stated that HHS is currently preparing new nutrition guidelines, which he estimated would include a three-page document advocating for whole foods.
McMahon revealed to Gonzales that she also noticed redundancies in the ED, noting that each department within the agency had its own human resources division.
She applauded Elon Musk and the Department of Government Efficiency for conducting an outside audit "through very rapid use of technology" that exposed "a lot of the bloat."
She pushed back on Democrats' claims that eliminating the ED would hinder children's education.
"The Department of Education going away simply means — and this is what the president really wanted to focus on — we're just getting rid of the bureaucracy that is standing in between the kind of funding that is necessary to flow to the states while letting the states determine how they are going to educate their own children to have their own policies," McMahon told Gonzales.
She added that the ED had reduced its overhead by roughly half, saving U.S. taxpayers $500 million annually, noting that the majority of the cuts were "mostly redundancies."
"We'll operate more efficiently," McMahon declared. "Who would have thought four years ago that we could actually have done an audit of the United States government through people who are volunteering to come in and do it?"
She stated that Musk has sacrificed significantly to help trim the bureaucracy within the federal government and save taxpayers money.
"We owe him a debt of gratitude," McMahon said.

What does Trump's 25% tariff on foreign cars mean for you?
We’re diving into some big news: President Trump just signed an executive order slapping a 25% tariff on foreign-made autos. This is going to shake things up for automakers, jobs, and maybe even the price of your next ride.
So here’s the deal: As of April 2, any vehicle manufactured outside the U.S. is getting hit with a 25% tariff.
Trump claims this will bring in more than $100 billion in new annual revenue, setting the stage for eliminating income tax and reshaping the global economic system.
That’s not just a little tweak — it’s a 25% jump above where tariffs were before. We’re talking about $100 billion in projected revenue for the U.S. government.
The goal? President Trump wants to bolster American manufacturing and bring jobs back home. But the road to get there is looking a little bumpy for some of the big players.
Big Three blues
Shares of the Big Three automakers — GM, Ford, and Stellantis — dipped after the announcement. General Motors and Stellantis are especially feeling the pressure.
Why? Well, 30% of GM’s North American production is in Mexico and Canada, and 17% of its vehicles are assembled in other countries. A 25% tariff on those imported cars and parts could damage the company's bottom line, unless it passes the cost to us, the consumer. GM CFO Paul Jacobson says the company has been prepping since November, slashing offshore inventory by over 30% and working with logistics partners to keep things lean.
Smart move — nobody wants a warehouse full of cars that just got 25% more expensive overnight!
Stellantis braces for impact
Then there’s Stellantis. With 45% of its U.S. vehicles coming from overseas, Bloomberg estimates these tariffs could wipe out $3 billion from the company's profits. New CEO John Elkann even met with Trump, promising the company would shift billions of dollars of production stateside, including reopening a shuttered plant in Illinois.
But here’s the catch: It is also cutting costs like crazy to stay afloat. S&P Global just downgraded Stellantis, warning that price hikes of 6% to 8% might be coming, which could tank U.S. sales by 5% to 7%. Stellantis promised President Trump it was bringing back jobs plus a $5 billion investment in its U.S. manufacturing network.
We need to keep our eyes on Stellantis. I fear the brand may pull Fiat, Alfa Romeo, and Maserati out of the U.S. It will never sell them with an increase in price.
Ford in a fix
Ford is in a slightly better spot with more domestic production, but CEO Jim Farley is still very worried. He’s called these tariffs "devastating" for the industry. Ford’s been stockpiling United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement-compliant parts and rushing engines across the border before the April 2 deadline.
Speaking of USMCA, there’s a small break: Parts that meet the trade agreement’s rules are tariff-free for now, until the commerce secretary sorts out how to tax non-U.S. content. And one more twist: Vehicles from Mexico and Canada get a slight break based on their U.S.-made content, so the effective tariff might be a bit less than 25%.
Tesla's sweet spot
Tesla has a pretty sweet spot in this tariff shake-up. Why? It builds all the cars it sells in the U.S. right here in California and Texas. It also sources 60% to 70% of its parts from within the country. That means no tariffs on its finished vehicles, giving Tesla a leg up over competitors importing cars.
Tesla CEO Elon Musk has not requested any support for his cars; this looks like a big win for him. Last year, the Model Y and Model 3 were the top-selling EVs in the U.S., and these tariffs could extend their lead by making rivals like Ford’s Mustang Mach-E or GM’s Chevy Equinox EV pricier — because they're both built in Mexico.
But it’s not that simple. Tesla still imports some parts — like batteries and electric motors — from Canada, Mexico, and even China. Those could face tariffs, bumping up production costs.
And here’s the kicker: If Canada or Mexico retaliates with tariffs on U.S. imports, Tesla’s sales in Canada could take a hit. Posts on X are already buzzing about Canada targeting Tesla chargers with rebate cuts, which could cost Tesla millions. Plus, Tesla warned the government that a full-on trade war might hurt its global sales — especially in China, its second-biggest market. So Tesla would be winning at home but worried about its global market shares.
Europe's cautious optimism
Europe’s automotive sector condemned Trump’s tariffs but also called for negotiations and expressed cautious optimism that a compromise could be reached.
By value, Europe is the biggest exporter to the USA. Investment bank Jeffries calculated that European automakers in 2023 exported cars worth a total of $59.25 billion to the U.S., far ahead of second-place Canada, at $28.1 billion.
So the hike is expected to hit European automakers hard — especially Germany, whose car exports rely heavily on American buyers. Shares of BMW, Porsche, Volkswagen, and Mercedes-Benz dropped following the announcement.
Europe’s carmakers already face a shrunken domestic market and new competition from cheaper Chinese electric vehicles. Any trouble in the auto industry could be a blow to the already stagnant European economy.
Hyundai on top
Now, let’s shift to a winner in this tariff game: Hyundai. The company has invested $21 billion in Georgia, creating 40,000 jobs and building a plant in Savannah that’ll pump out 500,000 cars a year — including 80,000 Ioniq 5 EVs. Plus, it is building a new steel plant.
Hyundai’s President Jose Munoz says this isn’t about tariffs or incentives — it’s about staying competitive. And get this: Its EV sales are second only to Tesla! By making cars here, Hyundai is dodging that 25% hit.
So what's going on here? Analysts say President Trump is playing a long game. It’s partially about jobs — 617,000 of them tied to the auto industry — but it’s also about renegotiating the USMCA trade deal early.
That’s set for review in July 2026, but Trump’s not waiting. These tariffs might just be the leverage to pull Canada and Mexico to the table sooner. While U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick says the April 2 start date for the tariffs is firm, Trump’s keeping his options open on that 25% rate.
Trump claims this will bring in more than $100 billion in new annual revenue, setting the stage for eliminating income tax and reshaping the global economic system.
Worst case, this plan fails, and we are right back where we started. Best case, Trump succeeds, income taxes are eliminated, and the people have a much better quality of life. Let’s see if he can pull it off.
Higher car prices?
Here’s where it hits home: Will this mean pricier cars?
Maybe. The American Automotive Policy Council, led by former Missouri Governor Matt Blunt (R), says it's all in on Trump’s vision but begs for policies that don’t jack up costs for consumers. The integrated North American auto sector — thanks to USMCA — has been a win, and it doesn't want to see it stall out.
For now, automakers are scrambling — some shifting production, others stockpiling parts. Tesla could stay steady unless parts costs spike, while imports like VW or Stellantis brands could sticker-shock you.
Cox Automotive stated that if there aren't tariff carve-outs for the auto industry's imports from Canada and Mexico, the cost of a U.S.-made vehicle would increase by about $3,000, while car prices for vehicles made in Canada or Mexico would rise $6,000.
I think we are going to see incentives coming soon to help dealers sell their massive inventories and lower-priced cars to capture sales they have lost.
