I would be very surprised if someone born into wealth like Elon Musk ever dumpster dived for a burger or chicken nugget.

I mean, this story is obviously bullshit and has been debunked over the years.

Not to mention even on its face, the headline is just wrong.

Elon states he had an apartment, but also implies he lived in his office, coding 24/7.

So… he had an apartment and is exaggerating about how often he stayed late.

How much did that apartment cost?

???

Did he just walk to work?

Was he working but not earning a wage?

This is a total bullshit article even by its own text.

Maybe his food budget was about a dollar a day for a while. Sure, ok, that’s maybe possible.

This is like those stories that were going around a while ago with various corporations just displaying absolutely absurd budgets for how a person could afford to live on their full time minimum low income job…

By assuming rent is 40% lower than it is, that they don’t have to pay for car insurance, never have health problems, never need new clothes, barely eat and don’t have a phone or internet plan.

Grade A delusional thinking.

Yea but this is grade A in the same way that school lunch ketchup is grade A.

Anyone can survive on $1 per day (for a month) when their expenses are only due once a month.

Wait, I only donated ten cents a day to an african child, what the hell, suzanne summers?

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.
