Someone tell me how this guy is NOT an idiot but smart, and got rich by being smart. This line of thinking is just going to incite a civil war and tank the economy. Everyone is three meals away from a revolution.
He made his fortune the honest way, by profiting off of the slave labor in his father's Emerald mines.

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.

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.
Just think how much more productive they'll be as prisoners working as slave labor. Why spend money fighting homelessness when you can make money off it instead? Everybody wins!
Well, everybody that matters anyway.

You can just tell these fucks have never been outside of an environment meticulously prepared for their pompous spoiled presence.
Trump’s plan includes forcing unhoused individuals into treatment or institutionalization.
The good old Victorian approach

Here's my pipe dream
Shit gets worse, were all homeless, we protest, they sick AI drones to kill us but oopsie, the AI botnet escapes, decides ~1000 bullets is far more efficient than ~1B, and neutralizes wealth in a highly organized and efficient attack.

Elon is just one $400 billion hospital bill away from being homeless like the rest of us.

What if Luigi was acquitted and launched a startup that sold guillotines at cost...
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

trump already believes homeless people are richer than him because they don't hold debt.
If those nefarious groups are profiting from high level of homelessness, nothing is stopping them from finding sheltered for the unhoused...
It’s rather interesting to see trump falling for the same bullshit he feeds his devoted minions.
Sounds like the kind of thing a tyrannical government would say.
What happened to "make Orwell fiction again" Elon?
For someone with the means to reach infinite corners of the globe he’s so out of touch with the world
