This is what we get when we treat billions as a proxy for brilliance: men who know nothing but think they know everything because their money lets them do whatever they want.
Elon Musk is hosting an X "Space" right now w/ Vivek Ramaswamy, and demonstrating a weaker grasp of our system of government than a freshman political science student.

There's is enough wealth in the US for everyone to have a home, but it's concentrated in the 1% who plan to squeeze everyone else to poverty and death to get wealthier. An 18% increase in homelessness due to unaffordable housing is a feature of the system not a bug.

U.S. homelessness jumps to another record high, amid affordable housing shortage
The annual federal count finds more than 770,000 people living in shelters or outside. It cites rising rents and the recent surge in migrants as key factors behind the increase.
