Elon Musk's DOGE helped end one of America’s most outdated government systems.
Deep inside a limestone mine in Pennsylvania, the U.S. government was still processing federal retirement paperwork by hand.
• Around 10,000 retirement applications were being manually processed every month.
• More than 400 million paper records were stored underground.
• Retirees often had to wait months because of this outdated paper-based system.
• Elon Musk publicly exposed how broken the process was.
Now OPM says it has reached the “Last Day of Paper,” with records being digitized and physical copies set to be shredded.
Elon Musk: “Now people can retire as soon as they want, instead of waiting 6 months for paper to be carried into a mine.”
This is exactly why DOGE was needed.
