I'm no Elon Musk fan, but this is very naive. Musk doesn’t have $400 billion in cash—it’s mostly Tesla stock. Meanwhile, the *US government* spends $7 trillion a year & still hasn’t “solved” hunger or homelessness. The problem isn’t rich people existing. It’s bad policy.

Whatever you think of him, Musk is rich because he leads companies doing world-changing work: cleaner transport, cheaper access to space, new hope for people with paralysis. Those are amazing innovations. We can celebrate progress *and* help the hungry. Not mutually exclusive.

If anyone thinks throwing money at homelessness is a magic fix, they should visit Los Angeles—where billions have been spent in recent years, only for the problem to get steadily *worse.* Solving complex societal issues requires more than endless cash.
