BlockBeats News, April 13th, according to Cointelegraph, amid a large-scale layoff initiative led by Musk at the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), the Social Security Administration (SSA) of the United States announced that all public communications will be transferred to the X social platform, and policy changes will no longer be communicated to the public through traditional letters and press releases. The X platform will serve as the SSA's primary external communication channel. The total number of SSA employees has recently been reduced from 57,000 to approximately 50,000 to reduce costs and improve operational efficiency. In its February 2025 statement, it stated: "The current structure of the ten regional offices is no longer sustainable and will be fully compressed into four regions. The headquarters' organizational structure also suffers from inefficiency."
Prior to this, Musk, the head of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), accused the U.S. Social Security system of billions of dollars in improper payments. His comments sparked intense debate on the sustainability of retirement plans and government spending. Musk claimed to have discovered a "magic money printing computer" within the U.S. Social Security system. DOGE also proposed a 20% reduction in the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) workforce, expected to impact 6,800 employees, with the plan set to be implemented within a month after the Tax Day deadline in 2024 (April 15). Musk's reform plan with DOGE is not limited to layoffs and cost-cutting. It is rumored that DOGE is exploring achieving full on-chain government budgeting through blockchain technology to enhance financial transparency and accountability.
