“Elon Musk called entitlement spending — including Social Security and Medicare — a key target for cuts, arguing the federal programs are plagued by fraud,” Bloomberg reports.

He also made unproven claims about benefits, including that Democrats use them to “attract and retain illegal immigrants by essentially paying them to come here and then turning them into voters.”

Musk: "The waste and fraud in entitlement spending -- that's the big one to eliminate. That's the half trillion, maybe 600 or 700 billion a year. That's also the mechanism by which Democrats attract & retain illegal immigrants by essentially paying them to come here & then turning them into voters."
