In a stunning display of… well, something, tech mogul Elon Musk decided to conduct a social experiment on the streets today. The premise? To see what a homeless person would do with a wad of cash. The execution? About as predictable as a Tesla autopilot on a sunny day.
Musk, known for his groundbreaking innovations (and occasional Twitter meltdowns), reportedly strolled up to a bewildered beggar, peeled off a stack of bills – sources say it was a cool $100 – and simply said, “For science!” He then proceeded to observe the man’s reaction with the intensity of a SpaceX engineer monitoring a rocket launch.
The beggar, understandably, was initially stunned. After a moment of disbelief, he reportedly did what any of us would do: he scurried off faster than a Cybertruck on Ludicrous Mode.
Now, here’s where things get truly shocking (spoiler alert: they don’t). Musk, in a series of now-deleted tweets, expressed his “disappointment” at the beggar’s “lack of entrepreneurial spirit.” He had apparently hoped the man would invest the money wisely, perhaps start a lemonade stand, or maybe even develop a revolutionary app.
“I expected more,” Musk tweeted, “Perhaps a business plan? A pitch deck? Something!”
The internet, of course, erupted. Memes of Musk offering a beggar a Dogecoin were quickly circulating, while others pointed out the sheer absurdity of expecting a homeless person to become a Silicon Valley startup founder overnight.
“Maybe if you gave him a job, Elon,” one user sarcastically suggested, “Instead of treating him like a lab rat.”
Musk, ever the provocateur, responded with a cryptic tweet about “the importance of meritocracy” and “bootstrapping.” He then announced he was developing a new app called “Beggar Bucks,” which would allow users to invest in homeless people’s “potential.”
“It’s like Shark Tank, but for the streets,” Musk explained, “We’re democratizing homelessness!”
Critics, however, were quick to point out the inherent flaws in this plan. “So, you’re going to gamify poverty?” one commentator asked, “That’s… something.”
As of press time, the beggar remains at large, presumably enjoying his newfound wealth. Musk, meanwhile, is reportedly working on a new project: a self-driving shopping cart for the homeless. Because why not?
