Tesla CEO Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency has said it has begun a "major cleanup" of records at the Social Security Agency .

Musk in February said millions of people well above the age of 100 could be collecting Social Security benefits.

The SSA has suggested the figures have been misread and those millions refer to many not receiving benefits but "do not have a date of death associated with their record".
