For someone that claims to be so data-driven, I'd be curious what data he is looking at here when he calls it a lie. I will say that it is factual that the US spends a lot of money on homelessness and we still have homelessness, but the existence of homelessness is not something I would call a lie.
If his data driven claims aren't just complete bullshit, the data he is talking about tells him that saying this type of shit will get him something he wants. Whether homelessness is real doesn't matter to him.
If his data driven claims are bullshit, he probably saw a homeless person who didn't look exactly like a Hollywood movie homeless person so, per his tiny, tiny idiot brain, they must be faking homelessness.
Elon is just one $400 billion hospital bill away from being homeless like the rest of us.
Seems like a great place to start after virtually the entire country praised the actions of a man who killed a CEO for exploiting poor people.
It is so disgusting. Print out this news article, stick it to your wall. Read it every day to remember why these people are a disease to society.
Better yet, stick on public walls
I suggest to remedy what must clearly be a misunderstanding, we give him a deep and personal insight: Cut him off from all of his assets, give him nothing but a set of cheap clothes and kick him to the curb.
Of course, we'd need to make sure his billionaire buddies don't help him, but maybe we can just enroll them in this experiment too.
Actually, they might just promise someone a reward once they get access to their funds again, so we need to make sure that this can't influence the experiment. Maybe we could just seize the assets without giving them back? With their hard work, surely they can get back to where they were, pulling bootstraps and all.
Trump’s plan includes forcing unhoused individuals into treatment or institutionalization.
The good old Victorian approach
Yeah, it's not the homeless people that are victims of a cruel society that has not only abandoned but also ostracized them. It's the wealthy that have to share an imperceptible amount of their wealth so that they have somewhere to sleep.
trump already believes homeless people are richer than him because they don't hold debt.
This is the danger of elite projection. What his life is like must be how other people's lives are like.
He was successful. If he wanted to get a job, he could. If he did work, he got paid.
If these people aren't doing that, it must be their fault, and they need "treatment" (via institutionalization) in his mind. It couldn't possibly be because to get a job, you often need existing housing, but to get housing, you need money from a job. Or the fact that people like him don't pay enough.
It's always their fault. Individual responsibility, meritocracy and all that jazz.
Every action involves a reaction.
You cut taxes? What will be lost? This is not an exception.
Half million people that have literally nothing to lose (even a prison may be a safer place for them) is quite an army. Desperate people are famous for doing desperate things.
This will not end up well and not only for the homeless
What happened to "make Orwell fiction again" Elon?
Likewise I call billionaires a lie and propaganda.
It’s rather interesting to see trump falling for the same bullshit he feeds his devoted minions.
Ah yes, it is a "life style" choice and all that jazz..... Not at all the inevitable result of decades plus of poor governance/systemic failures.
Clearly we can solve homelessness by simply terraforming Mars and moving all the homeless there, right?
It was only a few months ago this tool was complain about how dangerous the homeless were @ the San Fran Twitter HQ.
Sounds like the kind of thing a tyrannical government would say.
If those nefarious groups are profiting from high level of homelessness, nothing is stopping them from finding sheltered for the unhoused...
Such ignorance. Has he never been down the CA coast? Homeless along the highways, on the beaches, 40,000 in LA alone.
Boycott Tesla. Loss of money is all he understands.
The rest doesn't mean shit to him.
