$1 a day ignores all the favors he received. How much did that add up to? Most people don’t have that luxury.
Then he doesn’t need billions of dollars, right?
Rent: 22¢ (couch split w/ 44 friends) Breakfast: 11¢ (2 eggs) .......... 1¢ (electricity borrowed from neighbor) .......... Free (skillet found in street) Gym membership: Free (lifting rocks) Commute: 4¢ (walking in two used Kleenex boxes for shoes) Lunch: 30¢ (cup filled with ketchup from Wendy's pump) Commute home: 20¢ (walk on hands, use bandaid for blisters) Clothes: 16¢ (Scotch tape for holding together discarded pizza boxes)Yeah, that checks out.
Do you think the staff at the Wendy’s get annoyed at having to see that poor bastard pump a full cup of ketchup every day.
Like oh jeez, I hope you filled that thing today. I cannot take a half hour of the slurping noise as Johnny makes the most of his 30¢
Bitch, you came from an emerald mine, walkin’ the streets with gems in your pockets. Shut the fuck up.
🎶 People say he’s crazy
He’s got emeralds on the soles of his shoes 🎶

Oh no, I think Elon downvoted you.
I recall that even being rich his “friends” complain he wants to sleep on their couch and eat their food.
I figured this was how he “survived on $1/day”.
xactly. once a parasite always a parasite.
I’ve heard that he said the film “Parasite” is his favorite movie. Which I couldn’t wrap my head around when I heard that years ago, but as we’ve seen there’s no level of cognitive dissonance too low for Elon.
Just like the tiny home show people… There’s always a friend or family member with a plot of land for them.
There’s a reason rich people usually stay rich: they hate to spend their own money. On anything.
Who is his audience when he tells lies like this? Like, who is agreeing with him? Even beyond how bonkers it is to say out loud, it also doesn’t benefit him to further alienate himself from the world, does it?
I can only imagine it’s rich people who use this argument to try to justify hoarding wealth. After all, minimum wage is $7/hour, so these lazy bums only have to work one hour a week to live and they’re still complaining? They can easily save money every week. It’s their problem, not the person with billions of dollars.
Crazy right wingers who go “Obviously we need to cut welfare so this genius doesn’t have to pay taxes! Then one day I will be just as rich as him and be glad I didn’t make people as rich as him and future-me pay taxes!”
“That’ll show those poor!”
“Why are you cheering? You’re not rich.”
“True, but someday, I might be. And then people like me had better watch their step!”Right I had forgotten that liars often have other liars’ backs.
YahooFINANCE. Some of the money people who literally worship wealth? You know, The American Dream?
This comment is ironic considering that this article is exaggerating what Musk said.
the entire article is a litany of musk’s lies. even if the $1 a day part is a stretch (because it’s in reference to food), the words straight from the horses mouth are blatantly untrue.
where is the irony? do you believe everything he says in the article?
No. I did that once (as a middle class person too proud to accept daddy’s help) and it was fucking awful. I lasted 8 months before I had to consult Bank of Dad, which I’m pretty impressed by, but everything about it sucked. I would steal loaves of bread from bakeries at 4am, as they’d leave them outside to cool. I’d go to late night chippies and make up stories about being on a great adventure for charity so they’d give me free chips, I’d buy my clothes from a market that sold soiled and ripped clothing donated from fast fashion stores, and I’d hand sew them back to acceptability so I could wear them. We’d dumpster dive, forage, and beg, and it still wasn’t enough. Rent started going on credit cards, I discovered new addictions I couldn’t afford just to cope with the pain of no heating, shitty food, and a general feeling of desperation. And I had a fucking safety net, I was nowhere near the suffering of most people at this kind of poverty line.
Elon is a rich prick. I got a momentary taste of poverty and it was fucking awful. He would have caved in a day.
Paragraphs, learn them.
Commas, use them.
You got me.
Who’s this “them” that the paragraphs are learning?
So it only costs $365 a year to survive in America. Neat.
Or even better, around 52 bananas!
If you’re willing to exploit nearly everyone you meet for free food and shelter, yes, yes it is.
What a fucking liar
Anyone can survive on $1 per day (for a month) when their expenses are only due once a month.
What a fellating fallacious piece of filth that read was. Could they suck him off any harder without ripping his dick off? I submit that they cannot.
I too lived on a dollar or less a day before becoming the lower middle class person I am today. It’s easy when your parents buy everything for you and you don’t have expenses.

Came here to say this. It’s also remarkably easy to mooch off extended family, friends, even strangers. People usually feed their couch-surfer guests as well, who knew?
Rent is more than a dollar a day. Without a place to code, he never would have been able to work on PayPal. If he slept in his car and worked in an office, gas is still more expensive than a dollar a day unless he moved his car only on the weekends. In short. No he didn’t. Someone else footed the bill and he only paid a buck a day for maybe food. Not as tough as doing it on your own, which he’s never done.
Correct, he is lying, aka breathing.
well that was a lie.gif
As long as you aren’t sleeping in your bed when the police get the wrong address, or sleeping in an encampment when the police decide to steal all your belongings for living while poor, or kicked out of the library for not having access to a bathroom, or finding yourself in a grocer, mall, concert hall, theatre, school, etc on a day a shooter decides to show up.
Also you can’t survive on $1 per day without someone caring for you. That will not keep you off the streets and fed, and it will most definitely not cover fees for access to self improvement resources or recovery.
