Since the arrival of a team from the government department in the way Elon Musk, social security is in a greater known place than mostly understood, according to the Social Security Commissioner of Social Security Administration. “I don’t want the system to collapse,” Dudek said to a closed door meeting last week, according to a recording that has been taken by Propublica. He also said that it “can be dangerous for people in our country” if making changes in his will as if Those in USAIDThe Department of Treasury and somewhere.

Dudek’s comments, given to a group of senior staff and security adventurers who attend personal and nearly thinking of a top agency official in the first days of Trump administration. The Washington Post was first reported Dudek’s recognition with calling Social Security shots and quotes some of his statements. But the whole record reveals that he is more, talking not only of the actions taken by the people he has received from the White House itself. If he does not want to call the President Donald Trump’s Continue false claims about widespread social security fraud Like “BS,” Dudek replied, “So we published, for the record, what are the real numbers on our website. Do you face someone who suffers from manic?”

At the entire meeting, Dudek gave scary statements about the risks facing the Social Security System, but he did it in a strange informal, informal way. It leaves a lot of participants who have flew to the greatest of the largest and most popular social programs, one served with 73 million Americans. “Shall we break?” Dudek asked at a point, referring to what the DOGE do with Social Security data. “I don’t know.”

But then he said, to more committed tone: “They know. Let people learn. They will make mistakes.”

Dudek consists of dramatic whippial life as a public servant. For 25 years, he is the last bad bureaucrata: an analyst midlevel firing between federal agencies, at the final landing technology, focus on the technology and avoid cyberted and cyberes. He never knows even within the agency. But in February, he suddenly spilled in the public eye when he was worn for surrepttingouseustiously shared the information with the game. He appears to lose his job, but after he has not been expected to emphasize the Trump administration in the Commissioner’s account position. In time, he seems unable to determine the DOGE agenda, write – then remove – an information on joining, and strengthen the chain of commands to connect people with things to connect. “

Today, only weeks of his tenure, he took a greater ambivalent posture not only to make but Trump. On several occasions last week last week, according to the recording, Dudek framed the options he made in recent weeks as the “agenda” agenda to the President. These options include planned cuts of at least 7,000 social security employees; Purchases and early retirement offered across staff of 57,000, including employees in field offices and television centers helping elderly and disabled people navigating the program;; Cut to Disability Determination Services;; Topping a team working to improve the user experience of The SSA.gov website and application process; a decrease in agency footprint across the country from 10 regional offices in four; the ends of 64 leases, including for some fields in the field and office listening space; Social Security Security Security Securities; and more.

“I work for the President. I have to do what the President says I do,” Dudek says, according to recording. “I have to make tough choices, choices that I don’t agree with, but the President wants it and I do it,” he added. (He did not named the specific actions Trump made or not directly.)

On another point, Dudek says “I don’t want to burn anyone” but that’s a lot of structure that you have seen in the Hedkuwarter, and I have been a lot of political choices. I have a political agenda. I have to follow the agenda. “

Dudek also dismissed Trump’s claims about Social Security fraud, raised by the President’s hours after Dudek’s meeting at a congregation address That’s where he meant millions of perhaps – dead people at the age of 100 received Social Security benefits. There are 110-year-olds and old people in one of the Social Security databases viewed by the DOGE team, Dudek says, but people who are “not paying paychecks” – they are not always paid. “These are the records we don’t blame for,” he explained.

However, Dudek and two of his representatives, who also spoke to the meeting, seemed to be reluctant to prevent the public from preventing Trump’s mistakes. A spokesman that means saying that they are proud of a recent Press the release where, in the gentle language, they are more than opposite some of the false claims. Some officials say that the Doe’s account of dead people receiving the benefits of “captured before” but that “it was a victory), because they were educated), because they were educated), because they were educated.”

Spokes for Dudek and Social Security Administration, White House and Elon Mok do not respond to requests for comment.

Dudek’s comments come in a time when many social security employees are confused about Dudek, the reason for Social Security conversations with more than two social agency staff. Many say that because new agency cuts are made in a temicular way, the public is not as distinguishing the whole program, with its 90th anniversary.

Loons – and the intensifying specter of thousands more employees who bought a Friday deadline – especially mean of complex people and people with physical and intellectual disability, As reported in propublica.

Meanwhile, Muska, shown in a squad of geniuses in techno-effectian, actually inhibits the efficiency of social security services in many ways, many employees are said. Under the doge, several social security it canceled or spoiled back. Today, five employees speak Propublica, their tech systems as crashes almost every day, which brings more delay in service beneficiaries. It was a problem, they said, but it got “worse” and not the behavior, “as two employees.

And under a policy that has applied many agenciesSocial Social Security staff on the line is disabled from using their Government Purchase cards for any amount of $ 1. It has been a significant problem of birth – the necessary identification certificates, an employee of social management.

“Elections have results,” Dudek wrote on a March 1 email staff email.

At the meeting last week, Dudek was asked about most organizational changes, according to recording. Regarding closing and consolidation of regional offices as well as the agency part of the agency to help help disability claims, which have been hit by management levels. That’s not my first one I want. I think we need to see what happens in terms of fall. “

“Again,” he said, “I work for the President. The doge is about that.”

Dudek, which is set to speak only 15 minutes, according to a copy of the agenda, instead of dependent an hour in Social Security, in a 1989 book titled “Bureaucracy” talking to Trump. He continued to blow between concerns to share people who quickly receive Social Security Adveciini- and set some of what doge is trying to do his will.

“I want to have kids around,” he said, adding that even though they are not familiar with “nuances” in Social Security, he is trying to think more. “They think differ from work.”

He confirmed that members of the DOGE team have wide access to American security numbers and other personal data, but he claims that if they have any illegal to that information, he has been in that information, he checked them. He said he wanted many resources for customer offices and customer service, even if the front-line workers received like other staff.

While Dudek promotes that he wants useful feedback and open conversation, because he is very concerned about the Social Security Administration and the people who serve. She is honest about her disadvantages: “I am on a paper that I don’t expect,” he said. “I am a man and a guy who is trick.”

Dudek will eventually replace Frank Bisignano, Trump has long been chosen to run the Social Security Administration. In times, Dudek sounds fatal.

“I am the villain,” he said to record. “I don’t have a job after it. I took it.”
