"To Elon Musk, the word “homeless” is a “lie” and “a propaganda word”.
“Homeless is a misnomer. It implies that someone got a little bit behind on
their mortgage, and if you just gave them a job, they’d be back on their feet,”
he told former
Fox News personality Tucker Carlson in October. “What you
actually have are violent drug zombies with dead eyes, and needles and human
feces on the street.”
The more money spent combating homelessness, “the worse it gets”, according to
Musk.
Musk — who funneled more than $250m into Donald Trump’s presidential campaign —
is now directing lawmakers and the White House to make drastic, potentially
devastating cuts to federal agencies that support millions of vulnerable
Americans, including thousands of people experiencing homelessness.
The world’s wealthiest person has repeatedly suggested that he believes the
government he will be assisting is behind a global conspiracy to make more
people homeless in order to enrich the organizations working to end
homelessness.
“The ‘save the homeless’ NGOs are often paid according to how many homeless
people are on the streets, thus creating a strong financial incentive for them
to maximize the number of homeless people and never actually solve the
problem!” he wrote on December 10.
“The more homeless there are, the more money these organizations get, so their
incentive is to increase, not decrease, homelessness!” he said in September.
Trump, meanwhile, says people experiencing homelessness should be forced into
treatment or mental institutions “or face arrest”."
