Musk said during a Fox News interview this afternoon that an unnamed person whom he alleged was responsible for stealing more than 400,000 Social Security numbers would be arrested "hopefully this week."

"When I see that terrible fraud has happened, I'm like, why haven't we arrested someone already?" Musk said this afternoon, adding that an arrest was forthcoming.

The comments come after Musk said during a telerally last night in support of conservative Wisconsin Supreme Court candidate Brad Schimel, “I believe someone is going to be arrested tomorrow,” when asked about Attorney General Pam Bondi prosecuting fraud in the Social Security system.

The Department of Justice has not publicly announced any such investigation or arrest.

 

Musk has advanced a series of claims about Social Security fraud to promote cuts made by the Department of Government Efficiency. Responding to a question yesterday about where he anticipated he would find the most fraud, he said "it's going to be a contest between the IRS, Social Security and Medicare, Medicaid, but I could be proven wrong. But that's probably where, where it's going to be."
