Here’s a link to Paul Krugman’s latest Substack column on the fate of Social Security and SSDI for the disabled and why Elon Musk seems obsessed about destroying it.

Here’s the TLDR if you don’t have the time read the whole thing:
“Social Security has become to Musk what Canada has become to Donald Trump. Both men at one point said something stupid, something that would have turned them into laughingstocks if there weren’t so much fear in the air. But both men have been unable to let go, doubling down in what amounts to an attempt to redeem their initial foolishness.”
A reader’s comment:
“As someone who receives SSDI every month, I now hold my breath on the second Wednesday of every month, checking to see that the money has been deposited.”
