Summary
A top aide from Elon Musk’s DOGE, Antonio Gracias, falsely claimed that millions of noncitizens received Social Security numbers and later voted illegally.
He based this on data access that court filings say DOGE staff were barred from using.
Experts call his claims misleading, citing legal and technical flaws in voter roll matching. A federal court issued a restraining order against DOGE’s data access.
Despite lacking evidence, Musk and Republicans amplified the claims, influencing policy debates like the SAVE Act in Congress.
They advertised and argued that they had no proof before, and that when you have no proof they just lie to further their agenda.
Ex. - JD actually said she quiet part out loud when asked about the pet eating myth during the campaign.
