    Is homelessness really Musk’s problem to solve? Or do liberals just want it to be his problem?

    Bill Gates is worth 107 Billion . Perhaps he can end homelessness as well.

      We had programs in the 70s and 80s that weren’t perfect but did help and were funded by corporate tax dollars. Reagan killed them I believe. It might have been at the same time is was lying about the “welfare queens”

      Is homelessness really Musk’s problem to solve?

      Elon Musk and his companies, particularly Tesla and SpaceX, have received at least $38 billion in government funding through contracts, loans, subsidies, and tax credits, according to a Washington Post analysis.

      I would say that Musk is a product of government largese better spent on direct aid and public infrastructure improvements.

      The $38B should not have been his money to spend to begin with.

        It’s a service paid in exchange for labor. The government likely has many others services being paid that can also be used for that end
