Summary

Elon Musk has called homelessness a “lie” and “propaganda,” claiming advocacy groups profit from maintaining high homelessness rates.

Partnering with Donald Trump, Musk is pushing for drastic federal budget cuts targeting programs for vulnerable populations, including food stamps and healthcare.

Trump’s plan includes forcing unhoused individuals into treatment or institutionalization.

Critics argue these approaches criminalize homelessness while ignoring root causes like lack of affordable housing.

Homelessness in the U.S. has reached record levels, with 650,000 people affected in 2023, prompting calls for evidence-based solutions over punitive measures.

    Don’t know if it’s succesful, but definitely just straight up stupid.

    The are many places where it’s not even allowed because it does not meet the local safety and protection standards. It’s a fundamentally unsafe design, especially for the people outside of it. It should not be allowed on the roads, and the EU agrees with this.

    Even if it was allowed within the EU, you would need a special driver’s licence for it.
