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.
I completely believe that he was making 1$ a day at some point, he’s just neglected to talk about the 20 million he had in the bank from daddy.
Probably also ignoring his college dorm, tuition fees, and probably cafeteria fees.
There is no way you can “buy in bluk” when you have 1 dollar a day, as described in the article. You can barely get one orange per-day. Not to mention, there will be no way to reach a whole-sale store in the U.S., since you cannot afford any transportation, public or private, with 1 dollar.
or the other thousands of dollars he also
madeacquired that day
What a fucking liar
The headline should read “Guy routinely talking out of his ass is talking out of his ass”.
“I once had to sell an emerald at half it’s market value just so I could afford to pay the maid service at my third home” 🙄
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.
Alternative headline suggestion: “Rich liar lies”.
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.
Exactly. Didn’t he come over for college? So he lived in a dorm (paid for by dad), had a full meal plan (paid for by dad), all his school, clothing, and insurance were taken care of… that just leaves the pack of chewing gum he bought every morning on his way to class. Pretty easy!
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?
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?
Then he doesn’t need billions of dollars, right?
The headline and article seems to be hugely misleading. According to this article, the $1 was only for food and he did it as a challenge, not out of necessity.
For how long though? Because I can survive for a week or so on zero dollars a day, by fasting and foraging for dandion greens and citrus fruit from trees in public places. Longer than 2 weeks and my body would start to fail, but Id survive, technically, for a while longer.
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.
Grade A delusional thinking.
Yea but this is grade A in the same way that school lunch ketchup is grade A.
So it only costs $365 a year to survive in America. Neat.
If you’re willing to exploit nearly everyone you meet for free food and shelter, yes, yes it is.
Or even better, around 52 bananas!
“I saved up all week to buy one banana for $7, and that sustained me the rest of the next week!”
-Elon Musk, clueless asshole
Edit: Fun fact: Elon could read this a dozen times and still not get the joke.
Here’s ten dollars go see a Star war.
i dont get the joke :[
