A recent tweet from Elon Musk indicates that there is no cluster at age 150. He claims that there are about 10 million records in the system with the death field set to FALSE for ages above 120.
I don't know why those records are in the system -- and neither does Musk.

Do you have a reference for that? I know that a version of ISO 8601 mentions that as a reference date, but I don't see it in the Cobol standard. And before the 1980s, there would have been living people born before 1875. I thought it might have been an application-specific convention.
