Earlier I posted this memory of the incompetence of the Small Business Administration in 1966:

Now comes this information from the DOGE folks:

$600 Million in Federal Loans to Children and Dead People

The federal government had on its books $300 million in small business loans to people under the age of 11, and more than $300 million to people older than 120, Musk and Davis said. “We should not be giving out loans to babies,” Musk said.

Obviously, he said, such loans are fraudulent — scammers steal a child’s Social Security number to obtain a loan, destroying the child’s credit for his entire life besides stealing from Americans. Scammers also use their fraudulently obtained SSNs to obtain disability and unemployment payments from taxpayers.

A Friend of McHenry County Blog points me to Snopes, which says there is no documentation.
