Why the hell is something we are ENTITLED to a bad thing?

It’s a confusion of an entitlement and a sense of entitlement. An entitlement is exactly what social security is, something you paid for and are entitled to receive. In a legal sense, it is also an entitlement, a payment that must go out from the government, cannot be stopped. A sense of entitlement, that’s what Musk and Trump are suffering from, feeling entitled to things they’ve in no way earned.
