Countries with free housing for homeless people, and programs to help them quit doing drugs and get an income, have way less homeless people.
Elon could end all homelessness with what to him is pocket change if he wanted to. The fact that he, or any of these disgusting parasites choose not to, means they're literal monsters.
His premise is also false. At least half of homeless people in the US are employed.
It’s not a drug user problem. It’s an affordable housing problem.
The reason why only a minority of the homeless are drug addicts is a practical one---Drugs Are Really Expensive. Housed people are more likely to do drugs because they can afford to.
