I have zero respect for wealthy people who don’t use at least a substantial portion of their wealth to help those less fortunate. Elon Musk, the world’s wealthiest person, tops the list of such people.

Needless to say, my hackles were raised when I heard him claim that homelessness doesn’t exist, that it is a that it is a “lie” and “propaganda”.

Musk has what I call “ivory tower wealth” … he lives so high above the rest of us that he is literally blind to the way we live. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr …

I say let’s force Mr. Musk to live on the streets without access to his vast wealth for about 3 months!!![…]
F### Elon Musk!!! Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr …

Judd Legum over at Popular Information sets the record straight for Mr. Musk …

5 facts Elon Musk should learn about homelessness

By Judd Legum, Rebecca Crosby, and Noel Sims

Elon Musk, the world’s richest man, has been appointed by President-elect Donald Trump as the co-chair of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). Despite its name, DOGE is not a department or part of the federal government. But it appears that Trump will look to Musk and DOGE to determine what government programs are essential and what should be eliminated as unnecessary.

So it is notable that, on Tuesday, Musk posted on X that homelessness is a “lie” and a “propaganda word.” He suggested that most unhoused people are “violent drug addicts” who cannot be helped.
