Summary

Elon Musk has called homelessness a “lie” and “propaganda,” claiming advocacy groups profit from maintaining high homelessness rates.

Partnering with Donald Trump, Musk is pushing for drastic federal budget cuts targeting programs for vulnerable populations, including food stamps and healthcare.

Trump’s plan includes forcing unhoused individuals into treatment or institutionalization.

Critics argue these approaches criminalize homelessness while ignoring root causes like lack of affordable housing.

Homelessness in the U.S. has reached record levels, with 650,000 people affected in 2023, prompting calls for evidence-based solutions over punitive measures.

We've all agreed that cunt is not suitable to describe him as, per the Internet, "a cunt has warmth and depth"...two qualities that Elon clearly fucking lacks.

I reserve your definition for vagina or pussy.

Elon is the coarse derogatory dried up sandy rocky Tanami desert Aussie version…

…of an arid, sun-baked, sun-cracked, dirty, wheezing, wrinkled up, puckered out, worn down, slunk-meat, distended, coughing out little puffs of dust, cunt— with hair plugs.

Centrist?

He has no moral code beyond what benefits him most. Even centrists have ideals they somewhat stick to. Elon just believes in whatever benefits him most in the moment. I think it is like a character trait almost, he has a great instinct for how to make money with (other people's) money. Kinda like the world class poker players. Doesn't mean I admire them, or hold more weight to their opinions.

But people worship famous gamblers Why not someone who looks like they belong in middle stage of an Animorphs cover?
