BrooklynDad_Defiant!: 'Homeless' is NOT a Lie - Take it from a guy who has been there and back

BrooklynDad_Defiant! - 'Homeless' is NOT a Lie

Take it from a guy who has been there and back

In the New Testament, Jesus told his disciples "it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God.”

Now, imagine that "person who is rich" is a billionaire, in fact, imagine he is the richest person on the entire planet, who believes that homelessness is a lie.

I kid you not.

For full context, Elon Musk's exact quote is "In most cases, the word “homeless” is a lie. It’s usually a propaganda word for violent drug addicts with severe mental illness." The full context doesn't make the quote any less absurd.



Imagine being wealthy enough to set a pile of $44 billion dollars on fire just to install yourself at the top of an idiotic bro stack, and STILL have enough money left over to end world hunger and end homelessness... but you think the word homeless is a lie.

Well, as a person who has himself been homeless, I can confirm that it is NOT a lie.

Musk looks like Cal Hockley in that pic...

amass billions of dollars?

I sincerely hope Musk, who is reportedly a frequent druggie himself, smokes away what’s left of that worthless little brain he has.
