Elon Musk has made assertions regarding alleged governmental fraud, specifically claiming that people aged 150 years were receiving Social Security benefits. However, no concrete evidence has been provided to support this claim. Experts indicate that the figure likely results from limitations in the COBOL programming language, which is still used in various government systems but is outdated and not well understood by younger programmers. The 150-year figure may stem from a coding quirk where incomplete birth dates default to a reference date from 1875.
Elon Musk's claims of 150-year-olds claiming Social Security benefits lack evidence and are likely due to a quirk in outdated COBOL programming.
Experts contend that the so-called discovery of elderly beneficiaries is a byproduct of an antiquated coding language and not fraud.
