The US Social Security Administration (SSA) is preparing to move all public communications to X, the social media platform belonging to Elon Musk, as part of a broader government reform initiative led by the Department of Government Effectiveness (DOGE).
This decision is part of an overhaul of cost reduction which includes significant reductions in labor and modernization of communication strategies.
According to the sources cited by Wired, the SSA will interrupt its traditional use of letters and press releases by post, based only on X for public ads, updates and policy changes.
SSA labor has reduced 7,000 people in the middle of the thrust for thin and more efficient operations
The transition coincides with the agency’s decision to reduce its workforce from 57,000 to around 50,000 employees to rationalize operations and improve efficiency.
“The SSA worked with a regional structure made up of 10 offices, which is no longer sustainable”, in a press release published in February 2025, said SSA.
“The agency will reduce the regional structure in all the components of the agency with four regions. The organizational structure of the seat is also exceeded and ineffective. ”
Elon Musk, who is at the head of Doge, publicly criticized the SSa for poor management and alleged waste, saying that the agency has distributed billions of inappropriate payments – an assertion later echo by the White House.
Complaints have sparked a national debate on long -term sustainability of social security and public spending practices.
DOGE, although unofficial in its status, plays an increasing role in federal restructuring.
In March, he launched an internal examination of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), accessing internal systems and data.
SEC officials confirmed their cooperation and promised transparency throughout the investigation.
DOGE also recommended to reduce the workforce of internal income (IRS) by 20%, which has an impact on 6,800 jobs.
If they are approved, these discounts could be implemented on May 15, a month after the federal tax deadline.
For the future, Doge would explore solutions based on blockchain for public finances, in particular by placing the entire US government’s budget to improve transparency, reduce spending and increase responsibility.
Elon Musk’s DOGE team has access to dry systems
Meanwhile, Musk’s Doge would be integrated into the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) of the United States as part of a newly formed liaison initiative.
As indicated, the SEC has agreed to allow DOGE representatives to access its internal systems and data, treating them effectively as personnel for integration and network purposes.
An internal E-mail of the SEC quoted in the report confirmed that the members of the DOGE team will be granted the same access rights as the employees of the SEC with regard to networks, systems and sensitive data.
The SEC began to assemble a dedicated liaison team responsible for working alongside the representatives of Doge.
Internal communication stressed that all processes will respect standard protocols, including ethical authorizations, computer security examinations and access approvals.
Although specific Doge work objectives have not yet been made public, collaboration raises questions on the role that the influence of the private sector can play in regulatory executives in the future.
