You haven't really explained how Musk could ever be poor and homeless?
Any billionaire could discard their wealth "state side" or in a bunch of countries and still be obscenely wealthy.
If you could press a button and instantly delete all of his wealth the world over, he could land a well paid board position with any number of large companies who would pay him many millions just because his name would increase share holder sentiment.
He could just call any multimillionaire who has benefited from his association and say "hey I'm destitute, can you give me a place to stay and some pocket money" and they would gladly agree.
Musk will never be poor and homeless.
Tldr:
You seem to be arguing against a claim that you imagined I made, and / or seem to exist in an alternate reality with dragons and guillotines.
Logically I don’t understand how I can help you understand this, and that’s the only way I know to explain things, I’m sorry.
