The Grateful [Non]Dead, they are there, or at least one was found by a Seattle Times writer. Elon's elite errand boys pegged the guy as dead, or not, but somehow somebody at Social Security clawed back paid benefits the fully alive gentleman deserved. Go figure, but, please, don't burn a Tesla.

It appears the system was working fine until this February when some fuckheads got their hands on it. Or, perhaps, there is some other reason for a person as alive as you or me to have had, without notice or confirmative inquiry, a claw back because he was dead months earlier, but not really. In some circumstance he'd become dead in a database, and nobody checked before the clawback.

One may say, error happens, and Elon's been braying that dead are getting Social Security.

What I can say with reasonable certainty, if Social Security funds are being paid Jerry Garcia, there might be likely is another mistake in the database.

FICTION? That was a movie. Now there is Elon. And Trump. Stranger than fiction.
