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 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?
The headline should read “Guy routinely talking out of his ass is talking out of his ass”.
Grade A delusional thinking.
Yea but this is grade A in the same way that school lunch ketchup is grade A.
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.
or the other thousands of dollars he also
madeacquired that dayProbably 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.
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.
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¢

If this is a real writer and not AI generated content (with a fake public profile), it’s a college student doing intern work writing articles on topics she is given.
It’s clickbait, pure and simple
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.
“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” 🙄
Alternative headline suggestion: “Rich liar lies”.
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 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 :[
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.
