In reply to the discussion: Superrich drug user Elon Musk says "most" homeless are "violent drug addicts with severe mental illness" [View all]Aristus

shit.
I know homeless people and the homeless community better than he ever could in a million years. Just one of my homeless patients is orders of magnitude better than a billion Elon Musks.
He is impenetrably insulated from ever having to experience the horrors and the rigors of homelessness. But if I had just one wish, it would be that he would have to. Not for long. Not longer than a month. Because Im satisfied that he wouldnt live that long.

Maybe it is time for the public to become educated regarding this problem instead of brushing it off

Definitely violent. He choked a Secret Service agent who wouldn't drive him to the Capitol on 1/6.

Timing, random chance. His "success" is not duplicatable. No billionaire's is.

Replace the word "homeless" with "billionaires" and he would have a much more correct statement.
