Yes, he's going to do precisely that. Musk will identify that some segment of the recipients is "fraud", or identify some employees who play a critical role in the processing pipeline as "waste". Then when the first senior citizens stop getting their checks, he'll call the reporters who talk about it liars or blame the Social Security Administration for "malicious compliance".

But when you read the headlines in a couple months about missed Social Security payments, I hope you'll remember this comment, and adjust accordingly for your future predictions about what the administration wouldn't dare touch.
