Befuddled Elon Musk Proposes Theory That Homeless People Don't Actually Exist

It's no secret that multi-hyphenate CEO — and richest man in the world Elon Musk — has become significantly detached from reality.

He's long surrounded himself with sycophants, going as far as to buy himself a social media network to systematically tune out his critics.

Musk has also long looked down on those far less privileged than him, baselessly accusing them of crimes and insulting them.

Now those dark threads seem to be merging: in a recent tweet, Musk claimed that "in most cases, the word 'homeless' is a lie," arguing that "it's usually a propaganda word for violent drug addicts with severe mental illness."

Ah, good times.

And remember WHY Elmer accused him of being a pedo? Because Elmer had proposed some overly expensive and complex rescue scheme that would have cost billions and taken weeks to implement and the dude had the unmitigated gall to tell Elmer that his stupid plan was too risky and impractical even if it worked perfectly and the kids didn't have weeks of survival time
