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.
