Enough Musk Spam

'but if they aren't hungry and homeless where will their motivation to become professionals and have children come from?' they are actually this fucking stupid.

the US in total is a right-wing place that thinks that "hard work" is the way of life, and anybody who doesn't adhere to that is a "drug-addict" or a psychopath.

Alright I'll bite, even if Hairplug Himmler is right (and let's be perfectly clear, he's not).

Why wouldn't we as Americans want to help our fellow citizens overcome drug use, treat mental illness, and help rehabilitation efforts on their behalf?

ESPECIALLY IF THEY ARE "VIOLENT" and "on the street". Wouldn't we want to help them get off the streets?

Wouldn't that make us safer, happier, healthier, and dare I say... Great Again? Wouldn't that protect citizens and police officers alike at a lower cost than incarceration? (Spoiler alert it would, but there's no private for profit companies offering this service).

Wouldn't these people become tax payers? Employees contributing to society? Become future homebuyers and start a family?

These empathy lacking neo-fascist clowns can't stop punching down to those less fortunate (while claiming the lords name in vain) and I can't wait for the day we get the opportunity to match their empathy as they head to prison (preferably one in El Salvador).

I'm surprised he chose to express his point in this manner. Unless this is an expression of humanity from Mr Musk that we're so otherwise unaccustomed to that it's hard to recognise, then I assume he wants to persuade people to have less empathy or sympathy for homeless people, not more. This statement, taken at face value would seem to suggest that contrary to what some may think, homeless people are facing significant challenges not of their own making that have contributed directly to their circumstances.

I'm going to guess that's not how he meant it

A billionaire is the equivalent of a person sitting in a cafeteria who bought every piece of food in the restaurant kitchen and doesn't want to share any of it with the thousand people sitting around him even though he'll never be able to eat all the food they bought.

Owning and controlling so much wealth that you'll never be able to enjoy everything you have in a lifetime isn't a success or a sign of intelligence .... it's a mental illness. Especially when all that wealth and control could mean the life or death of thousands or millions of people everywhere.

where does he even get that idea? i never heard people refer to Elon as homeless.

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.

Remind me: why do we want mentally-ill drug addicts on our streets again?

Let's say, for sake of argument, that Elon is correct. Should we not be helping people with severe mental illness?

having been homeless…

the fuck is he talking about and who the fuck does he think he's fooling

So the mentally ill deserve to be left to rot in the streets? Why else have a social safety net, if not for them?

One of the talking points in South Africa goes like this:
The "homeless" black people that live in corrugated metal slums all have mansions that were stolen from white people and given to them by the government when apartheid ended.
They choose to live in slums to work in the cities, and go back to their mansions when they're not working. Alternatively, they don't live at their mansions because they are too lazy/dumb to actually take care of the property.

Projection is the process of displacing one’s feelings onto a different person, animal, or object. The term is most commonly used to describe defensive projection—attributing one’s own unacceptable urges to another.

Why does "violent drug addicts with severe mental illness" mean somehow they shouldn't be helped anyways?

Depressing fact: Most of the homeless people you see acting all crazy and talking to themselves all the time behaved normally when they started being homeless. It's spending years in complete isolation, being constantly ignored by everyone around you and having no one to talk to that makes you act like this.

Remember, they are saying what would need to be true to justify what they plan to do. This should be read as Elon declaring intent to put homeless people in camps.

TIL Elon Musk is homeless.

Wild claim, considering Musk is one of the most violent drug addicts who has ever lived.

So those people you're talking about, Elon... They have homes? No? Then homelessness isn't a lie, you gigantic sack of human waste.

Even taking his bullshit argument at face value, he thinks the best solution for these violent drug addicts is to leave them out of the street? Who is the audience here? If you literally think they are all violent, why is leaving them free to roam around the right solution?

I know it's all about money and grandstanding on his part but this definitely seems like some under-the-influence kind of deep thoughts.

Coming from someone who has never experienced it, nor has anyone in his family history. That is what needs to change in every billionaires life. Make them homeless foa few years and see how they handle it

To be fair, that is kinda nonsense. Germany and austria, for example have a lot of support networks for people in need, we even have entire networks dedicated to supporting homeless people, so nobody has to be homeless here - yet we do have a lot of them. For some people, homelessness is almost a choice more than an involuntary decision.

Obviously, idk how this would be in america, but I don't think it would be a lot different.

Elon spouts BS all the time, but $20 billion to end homelessness is some of the biggest bullshit I've ever heard.
