You actually should be. This is abhorrent even if there is no fraud.

He's setting himself up for a lot of issues. Typically an audit gathers data, analyzes it, then makes a full report, followed by actions based on the report.
Elon just randomly fired people just in case there was fraud, realized he was wrong, had to call them back.
Now he's airing SS data before it's been investigated and analyzed and verified. He has to be right or else he's going to look like an r-slur at best and get sued at worst.

No, anyone above the age of 62 could theoretically be taking benefits as they are eligible so long as they are alive.
It's painfully lazy databasing even if there is no fraud.
