  1. By someone who thinks Social Security is a "Ponzi scheme" by assuming the dollar is a rigid yardstick!! 😂😂😂😂😂

  3. ​ @RLFinTX He hasn't done an independent audit at all. Show us the team of CPAs and CFAs he has assembled.

  5. No it is not. (If I spell out three essential reasons why it is not, guess what happens to the post?) ​Musk's "explanation" of the alleged "Ponzi scheme" assumes that the dollar is a rigid yardstick!! 😂😂😂😂 University of Pennsylvania should confiscate his BA in economics.

  6. Musk literally called it a Ponzi scheme. That means the entire Social Security system is a fraud. The reason why it is not a "Ponzi scheme" is that that characterization assumes the dollar to be a rigid yardstick, when we all know it is not. In simple terms, everyone paid in with stronger dollars, but the payout does not fully keep pace with inflation. In the meantime, the dollars are invested in US Treasuries, which pay significant interest when large sums such as these are involved.

  9. Robby playing to greed and resentment as usual. It works, as usual.

  10. What audit? Who is on the team of independent auditors Musk has assembled, with CPAs, CFAs, extensive industry experience, and no government contracts to create conflicts of interest?

  11.  @johnr5312  I have audited the auditors. You can rightly accuse lawyers of a lot of things, but a limited perspective is not one of them.

  12. She does? No, Robby does. The 401k has existed for about two generations, during an unprecedented boom market. Where are all the millionaires who can self-finance their retirement with no other revenue source?

  13. ​ @deanadutcher5877  So you're really lost. Okay. Lost is the usual for 2025.

  15. No it is not. But anyone who tries to give the technical reason why will be shadowed. Well, what does that tell you? ​As for Musk's "explanation" of the alleged "Ponzi scheme" in the clip, he assumes that the dollar is a rigid yardstick!! 😂😂😂😂 You didn't spot that? In short, people pay in with stronger dollars, but the payout doesn't keep pace with inflation.

  16. Musk's "explanation" of the alleged "Ponzi scheme" assumes that the dollar is a rigid yardstick. He must know this is flat-out false. And you think she's being hyperbolic?
