"The Social Security Administration has sent a misleading email to beneficiaries stating that President Donald Trump’s sweeping tax cuts and spending law eliminates taxes on Social Security benefits for most recipients."
“The new law includes a provision that eliminates federal income taxes on Social Security benefits for most beneficiaries, providing relief to individuals and couples,” it said.'
"But it does not eliminate federal taxes on Social Security. Budget reconciliation, the arcane process Senate Republicans used to pass the bill while avoiding a Democratic filibuster, does not allow changes to be made to Social Security."
"An identical note was posted to the SSA’s website on Thursday, the same day multiple beneficiaries told NBC News they received the email."

So, Trump via one of his cronies, had SS post a blatantly political and falsely worded message posted as an official message.
From the above link:
"Jeff Nesbit, a former top Social Security Administration official during the Biden administration, said the political emails were highly unusual, slamming them as “unbelievable” and “unconscionable.”
“I was deputy commissioner of the Social Security Administration. Appointed by President Biden. The agency has never issued such a blatant political statement,” Nesbit, who also served in the George H.W. Bush, George W. Bush and Barack Obama administrations, posted on X. “The fact that Trump and his minion running SSA has done this is unconscionable.”
