From the following tweet:
https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1888314848477376744
In particular the statements that:
- "over $100B/year of entitlements payments to individuals with no SSN or even a temporary ID number" is credible
- "When I asked if anyone at Treasury had a rough guess for what percentage of that number is unequivocal and obvious fraud, the consensus in the room was about half, so $50B/year or $1B/week!!"
I probably have a mild anti-Elon Musk bias but am open to believe this, however I was unable to find any government report supporting these numbers.
Here is my twitter & bsky in case you want to see my biases:

Please ask for clarification in the comments! In my current belief state I would resolve NO, but if you can convince me / do some calculation or whatever I am open to changing my mind!
