I'm not.

Forcing seniors or anyone to use a corrupt platform like X is the boldest step toward government-controlled media I've seen yet.

Forcing the most reliable voting demographic onto a privately owned neo-nazi propaganda platform for agency news is equivalent to Goebbels’ Third Reich nazi radio distribution.

Senior citizens can be web savvy, we shouldn't dismiss them all there. But how many swastika posts and N word posts are we going to subject them too? Because that platform has no moderation and is a hate fest. Putting the SS in SS.

Funny I’ve been kicked off of twitter for mocking repugnicans.

My email to Hamadeh with some personal stuff edited out

I hate every fucking person in this administration from Trump and Musk on down to their lowliest goon.

Old twitter was ok. I left “X” because it became mean, vulgar and hateful. It’s wrong to subject us seniors to that rot just to stay informed.

Wait, they will require beneficiaries to have an account on a private social media (one on which I will not willingly ever set virtual foot on ever again)??

This HAS to be wildly illegal.

This is total BS. It must never be allowed! 🚩🚩🚩🚩

Heck, most of the entire state of Kentucky is not on X

I quit the platform. I will NEVER go back.

Just a grift to boost X accounts, total bullshit.

📌

O.M.F.G.

SSA is trying to avoid providing human contact. Perhaps to make it more difficult for people to get their benefits...

They are going to trash social security while making millions and billions

I was kicked off X. People like me have a lawsuit right there.

X is nothing but a hard right propaganda machine. Even Grok says it’s 60% bots.

A platform so politicized and overrun with misinfo should never be the sole source for SSA updates and information.

Well, if car buyers are reluctant to buy cars from a guy who gives multiple enthusiastic Nazi salutes, he is going to have to find some other way to replace the income, and monetizing his role in dismantling our government is his Plan B

"The platform has for years battled the spread of misinformation." Guys, the current owner of Twitter uses it regularly and aggressive to lie and encourage the spread of misinformation.

"The platform has for years battled the spread of misinformation." WRONG. INSTEAD: "Prior to Musk's purchase, the platform had battled for years against the spread of misinformation. After his purchase, those efforts ceased, with disinformation amplified and Musk himself being the worst offender."

Nice, retired folk can get benefits updates while having pornbots, cryptoscam, white supremist propaganda, and antivaxxer garbage

The platform doesn’t battle misinformation it spreads it, and Nazi hate, and white nationalism. It’s shit all the way around and what info will they post that wouldn’t be on the website. DOGE missed another Musk ripoff oh, I forgot, that’s the feature.

I agree.

It's been for years. @raskin.house.gov @adamsmith.house.gov @murray.senate.gov @cantwell.senate.gov have been well aware.

More than enough. This is so outrageous. The fact that one of the dumbest people in Congress just pulled a major Martha Stewart, and brags about it should be kicked out.

"Facilitated" would be more accurate

Wired actually calls Musk on his bullpucky more than the conventional media. But more is needed...

So senior citizens now have to rely on Twitter or NaziX to secure the HIPPA medical information… #FuckElonMusk The #Truth about Elon Musk in 5 words. This website says the quiet part about Elon without saying the quiet part out loud… for all American 🇺🇸 Patriots www.HeIsAdick.com

I think (hope) that was a typo.

I know, they "X" have knowingly SPREAD MISFORMATION AND SPUN IT TO DISINFORMATION!!

Hopefully,that's a typo on Wired's part "battled the spread of misinformation"? X IS the definition of that.Wired better do some quick damage control on that one before it loses any credibility it may have had! Bad enough I thought the announcement was a JOKE!Then to read that- more than I can take!

EXACTLY!...and that's the point.

I'm sure a bunch of retirees being called retards in the comments will be great for morale. 🤣👍

Fucking assholes need to be arrested! When is someone going to stand up to these fuckheads

Leon, and his hackers, rolled over those who depend on that small monthly check for survival. All of them, are screwed.

And yet they posted this denial on twitter.

Whole giving payment accounts to a Nazi who hates them

Swamp just keeps on getting swampier

Battled?

The epitome of cynicism: Elon Musk claims to be shocked by the level of Tesla hate—conveniently forgetting the litany of scandals under his watch, from racial discrimination to sexual harassment allegations in Tesla factories www.aol.com/elon-musk-sa...

Plus Musk has been terminating people’s accounts when they hurt his feelings. There has to be a law saying you can’t ban people from accessing government communications.

There has to be pushback on this.

I hate that they are terrorizing you and so many others like this. It's cruel.

It's the for-profit business of a high ranking government official. They're forcing us to patronize his business.

I was banned from X, so how the fuck do I make contact?!

This is absurdly pathetic, cruel and completely unsurprising-step 1 of Musk’s goal for all govt payments to run thru X, including SS if they continue to exist. Hope we can rely on media and others to share info. Never going back to X. Hell can freeze over. Congress pls help!!

I am not on Twitter, never have been, never will be. This is a blatant attempt to get naive seniors onto a right-wing propaganda platform. I am a senior, but even I am not that stupid.

I am thinking that they are leaking things like this to the press intentionally, resulting in panic and increased distrust in journalism, which is the long-term underlying goal.

Direct communication is the only efficient way. Musk wants to destroy Social Security.

How convenient to get the latest Nazi propaganda AND Social Security updates in one place. 🙄

We Have to Stop this Red Flag 🚩

Of course not. That’s a feature, not a bug.

So Now all Our Social Security Numbers will be on X??

I don’t have an X account (any longer), so now how is that going to work?

conflict of interest is a myth

WTF

The plan of Project 2025 and its Billionaire Proponents all along has been to burn it all down - with only Dictatorship to remain. BUT EVIL ALWAYS PLANTS THE SEEDS OF ITS OWN DESTRUCTION. THERE WILL BE A RECKONING!

WTH

I still believe a federal judge ordered them out of there What gives?

I want him dead

That is THE most inane and insane thing I have heard of!

Conflict of interest!!!

Cut 90%?

But, I don't want to be on X, The Bad Place.

Well, true, but I am also finding the occasional poo 💩 emoji useful in these times. 😂

That’s kind of the point… makes it easier for them to cut benefits from millions of seniors.

Wtf, twhitler becoming the only media of communication of anything outside of the gestapo is crazy.

Heh and they pick the polluted tar pit instead Have fun in The Thunder Dome SSA and tell them who really runs Bartertown

This cannot be secure or legal. WTF?

We're drowning in corruption.

Who’s gonna stop these morons from killing us?

Good God

I had to check if this was posted by The Onion, because it sounds like satire. Surely this is not true.

WTF...

W T F

I am not on X and never plan to be. Just started collecting as I retire. If anything fucks with this I will seek every legal avenue I can.

Hitler Nazi control. Rebel America, right fucking now.

Seniors will die. Period.

Well that seems illegal..

!!!!

Bullshit

WTF

@wired.com has become a pretty incredible bastion of government reporting in recent months, while many other outlets have taken a nosedive. Thank you all for meeting the moment—it’s this kind of media pressure that actually gets them to back off crazy stuff like this.

Corruption

How is this legal? X is not a government entity. Someone challenge this please!!!

With a 90% workforce cut, I think they’ll be communicating very little

Famous twitter users, the elderly

The goal is to privatize the government. That's what Musk and Trump are there to do. To give control of the United States to the wealthy.

That seems like it should not be legal

Say what now?!!

So the US government requires an account on a privately owned service for official public communications?

It has been a thought in my mind from the start of DOGE that his true agenda was to put the trillions of dollars paid out by the federal government under the umbrella of X. Doing so would generate a % processing fee and make hundreds of billions a year from the government.

Please tell me this is parody

Insane. 70+ million Americans depend on this.

Probably!!

My friends and I joked that this would happen just a few weeks ago!

This is just unacceptable.

My guess would be yes to save on postage and effective communication to the masses. 🙄

This is the equivalent of making people climb through an open pipe of untreated sewage to get what they’ve already earned.

📌

Americans shouldn’t have to be on X or any other social media site to get public communications! What the fuck is going on?!?

resist.bot/petitions/PI...

Sorry, but I'm afraid they'll simply let him die before they bother with anything like that.

Then come back in two days to teach it all again.
