<p>Former Governor Scott Walker (R-WI) repeatedly fact-checked CNN anchor Abby Phillip during a Tuesday evening interview, pushing back as she tried to claim that Elon Musk said his Department Of Government Efficiency project would cut Social Security while speaking at a recent town hall event in Wisconsin.</p>
<p>Walker interrupted Phillip several times throughout the interview, refuting her claim she attributed Democratic talking points.</p>

<p>&quot;Actually he never talked about that. He explicitly said he would NOT cut social security. That’s exactly what he said…I was there! I watched him!&quot; <a href="https://t.co/o5OZ1BxSda">pic.twitter.com/o5OZ1BxSda</a></p>
<p>&mdash; Townhall.com (@townhallcom) <a href="https://twitter.com/townhallcom/status/1907474374858518982?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">April 2, 2025</a></p></blockquote>
<p>Phillip brought Musk into the discussion, noting that he had poured millions of dollars into the Wisconsin Supreme Court race, and then referenced a recent town hall in Green Bay, asking, &#8220;Is it a risk for Republicans to put all their eggs in that basket — not only did he spend the money, he came to the state. He came to the state, he talked about cutting Medicaid, Social Security through DOGE, bringing those issues up —&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Actually, he never talked about that. He explicitly said in Green Bay that he would NOT cut social security,&#8221; Walker pushed back.</p>
<p>&#8220;Well, he talked —&#8221; Phillip tried to cut Walker off. &#8220;— at his rallies.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;That’s exactly what he said,&#8221; Walked continued. &#8220;Other people said that, but I was there! I watched him! He did not say he was going to cut Medicaid.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;All right, well, other people at his rallies, who work for DOGE, who work for Elon Musk&#8217;s organization, talked about those issues,&#8221; Phillip tried again.</p>
<p>&#8220;No,&#8221; Walker was not having it. &#8220;I was at the rally, not a one of them said that.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Do you think that —&#8221; Phillip said.</p>
<p>&#8220;That&#8217;s what the protesters said, but none of the people there actually said that,&#8221; Walker said.</p>
<p>&#8220;Do you think that there are risks here?&#8221; Phillip finally got her question out. &#8220;For Republicans and those issues being associated with Elon Musk?&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;There are if people believe the lies that people are saying about that, but that&#8217;s not at all what they said. If people believe that Medicaid and Medicare&#8217;s going to be touched, that&#8217;s just a flat — outright lie.&#8221;</p>
<p>Walker went on to say that Musk and DOGE had looked at Social Security and had found people who were on the list to be paid who were 120 years old and obviously no longer living – and that the organization&#8217;s goal was to root out similar waste, fraud, and abuse in other departments as well.</p>
