So those people you're talking about, Elon... They have homes? No? Then homelessness isn't a lie, you gigantic sack of human waste.
Enough Musk Spam

take it from him
Projection is the process of displacing one’s feelings onto a different person, animal, or object. The term is most commonly used to describe defensive projection—attributing one’s own unacceptable urges to another.
Psychology Today is another corpo shit hole that avoids paying taxes in the US. Article writers are verified in the loosest sense of the word. Please take psychology today with a grain of salt when used as a resource.
Ok.
its malignant forms, it is a defense mechanism in which the ego defends itself against disowned and highly negative parts of the self by denying their existence in themselves and attributing them to others, breeding misunderstanding and causing interpersonal damage.

Better?
Also I'm not sure why I should care that psychology today does not pay taxes in your country when your country is putting tarrifs on every other country in the world.
Bet Elon he can't beat homelessness with 19 billions.
Bro will do it just to prove you wrong
Compulsive lying and Ketamine abuse are the only things Elon knows anything about.
Says the homeless illegal.immigrant from a apartheid
Respect to Kyle. Dude started off in the Atheist channel days of YouTube and didn't fall down the gamer gate MRA pipeline like most of them did. That was such a right wing cash grab that so many channels grifted towards.
Then he continued with good left adjacent commentary on most issues and stayed true to his moral compass. Didn't fall for the right wing narratives that TYT and other similar channels had during post COVID. He stayed consistent and didn't grift to the right for a bigger audience.
I disagree with a bit of what he has said over the years. I disagree with him on a lot of "big picture" stuff. But absolute respect to his consistency. I'm pretty sure he's still entirely user funded still (no sponsors etc).
It's refreshing to have watched him on and off for a decade and hes been consistently on the correct side of issues. Its rare to see out of a political commentator.
He's just getting ahead of all that homelessness he and his orange friend are about to institute.
Elon spouts BS all the time, but $20 billion to end homelessness is some of the biggest bullshit I've ever heard.
In most cases, the word “genius” is a lie. It’s usually a propaganda word for egomaniacal, ketamine-addicted sociopaths.
'but if they aren't hungry and homeless where will their motivation to become professionals and have children come from?' they are actually this fucking stupid.
Remind me: why do we want mentally-ill drug addicts on our streets again?
I have noticed a trend of people who think working with the homeless is gonna look like a hallmark card and are shocked and appalled when they get called slurs by a homeless diabetic amputee. Its easy for them to come to the conclusion that these people are homeless because they're assholes. They're right in the sense that most of the more pleasant people never really wind up completely homeless, they can usually find a couch to crash on and a friend's shower to use until they find a new or better job.
But it's also this cycle where having your head shoved back under repeatedly eventually makes you unpleasant so yeah eventually once you start factoring all that trauma you do wind up with somebody who's paranoid, possibly even psychotic related to drug use (tf else are they gonna do with their time? It's not like they're gonna join a pickleball league, and nobody is gonna hire somebody who never showers or has clean clothes, and you need a shitton of calories going into your body to work labor and you can't work labor at all if being unable to afford your metformin got your legs amputated).
So I meet people who volunteer or even come to do paid work in human services and they're like wow I'm helping these people and they cuss me out and yell racial and gendered slurs at me when we're out of turkey sandwiches and I'm just like first of all, learn to appreciate ✨️The Art of The Roast✨️; half the shit these people say is a) true and b) funny asF. And second of all, I know damn well nobody told you to come work in this field for high pay and low stress so we can tell people all we want that we deserve more pay and more staffing and more resources but we all know that ain't coming any time soon so until then if your plan is to sit around complaining then do us all a favor and just leave because you're stressing the rest of us out and we have work to do.
