Not allowing billionaires to exist would end homelessness
Also half of all homeless people are foster kids who aged out of the system. They don’t have a family to fall back on.
Says the homeless illegal.immigrant from a apartheid
Wild claim, considering Musk is one of the most violent drug addicts who has ever lived.
He is so fucking incoherent from all the ketamine it isn’t funny.
take it from him
@Confidant6198
“secular talk” is wrong here.Musk is an absolute psychopath without any empathy. He doesn’t need any excuse to sleep at night knowing all the harm he did to the world.
By destroying USAID, this devil just threw millions of people into starvation.
What do you know that HUD doesn’t?

Read the rest of the comment. They weren’t talking about the $20bn number being wrong.
Right, it was mostly irrelevant. Also a person who doesn’t understand the role of USAID.
TIL Elon Musk is homeless.
Elon spouts BS all the time, but $20 billion to end homelessness is some of the biggest bullshit I’ve ever heard.
You should have some sympathy for Musk, since apparently you also like to talk out of your ass without looking into it.

I work serving the homeless. We spent $10 billion for one year during COVID just to include all of the students who didn’t already get free school meals to have it during that time. Unless you’re only providing cots and Porto-johns, that number might work as an annual figure, until inflation hits, or the numbers go up because once you offer free housing, more people will try to become eligible.
Sounds to me like you’re the one talking out your ass.
Then present your data. Hell, publish your data. If you know better than the experts at HUD, and can prove it, it should be quite the boon to your career.
But you’re not wrong that band-aids for systemic problems are much more expensive than solving them.
These numbers are extremely unsubstantiated. If you think giving someone $40k will permanently save them from homelessness I have a bridge to sell you.
If you can provide six months of housing, food and support then a person could start earning for themselves. You don’t have to provide a lifetime of help for $40,000
Let’s see your study. What do you know that HUD experts don’t?
People also said you can’t solve homelessness by giving them homes, and Finland did it with ease.
Is homelessness really Musk’s problem to solve? Or do liberals just want it to be his problem?
Bill Gates is worth 107 Billion . Perhaps he can end homelessness as well.
Is homelessness really Musk’s problem to solve?
Elon Musk and his companies, particularly Tesla and SpaceX, have received at least $38 billion in government funding through contracts, loans, subsidies, and tax credits, according to a Washington Post analysis.
I would say that Musk is a product of government largese better spent on direct aid and public infrastructure improvements.
The $38B should not have been his money to spend to begin with.
You’re getting the hang of it - there are no morally good billionaires!
Isn’t it funny how this joker thinks we’ll stand up for Bill “Lifelong Massive Dickhead” Gates?
Liquidate Musk
It’s amazing that a man who does enough ket to bring down a racehorse even dares to use the phrase “drug addict” as an insult.
Not unusual for addicts to displace blame onto the people around them in order to justify their addictions.
The difference between Musk, Thiel, et al and your average American junkie is simply their line of credit. They can keep taking experimental intoxicants, safe in the knowledge their friends will loan them another $2M the next time they wrap their McLauren around a stop sign.
Whether someone is a drug addict with severe mental illness is irrelevant to whether they’re homeless or not.
Do they have somewhere to live that has a permanent address? No? Then they’re homeless and need help.
Obviously there’s a bit of nuance with things like ProxyAddress where homeless people can have permanent addresses but still be homeless, but the gist of my point is the same! Do they have a home or not?
He’s a violent drug addict, way more dangerous and destructive than any homeless person could be.
The word Elon is a propaganda word it is a lie. It is actually Felon, which is a violent drug addict with mental illness.
where does he even get that idea? i never heard people refer to Elon as homeless.
Not sure about now, but there was a time period where he owned no properties and lived in the houses of friends. Staying in someone’s fourth home is not a hardship, but technically he didn’t have a home.
I don’t believe it, and even if it’s true it wasn’t out of necessity. he probably found it convenient to mooch off people like he always does one way or another as a lifelong parasite. he was born into immense wealth. literally the only thing he’s ever done is buy companies. that’s his entire career.
Not sure what you mean.
Edit: I’m dumb. The joke is that Elon is a drug addict. Hit me a few minutes later.
It’s a joke. He’s implying that Elon is a violent drug addict with severe mental illness. Which is, of course, true.
Thanks. Got it just in time to edit my comment and then see your reply. I’m a dummy.
