From Fedscoop:
The Social Security Administration has moved on to its third chief information officer of the Trump administration, tapping yet another individual with Department of Government Efficiency affiliations.
According to an update to CIO.gov, a federal page that features IT leaders in the government, Aram Moghaddassi has taken over as SSA’s top IT official after previously working at the agency in a different role. Moghaddassi, who has also worked at the Labor Department, was at one point given access to IT systems at United States Citizenship and Immigration Services, FedScoop previously reported.
Per his LinkedIn profile, Moghaddassi previously worked for two Elon Musk-owned companies: the social media platform X and Neuralink.
Moghaddassi is at least the third DOGE associate to be named CIO at SSA since President Donald Trump took office in January. Mike Russo, a former CIO at Oracle and the payments processing company Shift4, was installed in the position in early February, an agency spokesperson told FedScoop. …

Anyone who thinks Elon isn’t running the show is foolish. SSA is compromised.
“ Moghaddassi is at least the third DOGE associate to be named CIO at SSA since President Donald Trump took office in January.”
It’s almost like they come in with their “pRiVaTe SeCtOr EfFiCiEnCy” mindset and then quickly learn that’s not how government organizations operate. Especially one who has the responsibility of protecting hundreds of millions of citizens PII and sending out/transmitting 70 million checks monthly.
No doubt highly qualified and accomplished individuals. But can they work within the confines of government? It seems the answer is no. SSA has terrible technology and refuses to pay for the best. Thus, it's stuck in a time warp.
the irony is not lost that there has been a MAJOR system outage all morning...
