What if the system pays to keep the problem alive? Elon Musk just answered it in three words: "Incentives drive outcomes." The thread he amplified lays out the trap: when NGOs get paid based on how many homeless people they manage, shrinking homelessness shrinks their own funding. The data cited in that thread is brutal — unsheltered homelessness up 41.7% from 2013 to 2024, while pay at 1,458 HUD-funded homeless NGOs rose 118% over the same stretch. Pay for inputs, get more inputs. Pay for outcomes, get outcomes. The money follows the metric — so the metric becomes the mission. So here's the fight: should every dollar of homeless funding be tied to actual reductions — fewer people on the street, period — even if that means some big NGOs lose their budgets? Or is funding by "people served" the only fair way to keep frontline work alive? I track Musk's timeline every day and break down what the numbers behind his one-liners actually say. —— via @elonmusk #Incentives #Homelessness #NGO #马斯克 #激励机制 #ElonMusk
