The top official at the Social Security Administration quit over the weekend because Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency wanted to see private records of Americans.
Michelle King, who had been acting commissioner of the Social Security Administration for 30 years and was in charge of the benefits that 73 million retirees and disabled people get, quit, according to the White House, according to USA Today.
According to USA Today, which was the first to report King’s departure, President Trump replaced King as acting commissioner with Leland Dudek, who has been in charge of Social Security’s anti-fraud office. Frank Bisignano, president and CEO of Fiserv, is Trump’s choice to lead the Social Security Administration full-time. He needs to be confirmed by the Senate.
