It sounds like what you wanted your message to be is the people are closer to being homeless than to being a millionaire? You might need to reread your meme, because that’s not what the edit makes it say

What about what he said isn’t true ? Both things are true. And the ratio between millionaires and homeless has nothing to do with it. A millionaire is closer to being homeless than elon musk being millionaire.

And that’s just geometric distance! Measured Arithmetically, everyone poorer than Warren Buffet is closer to being homeless than they are to elon musk.

- US homeless population: 770,000
- US millionaire population: 6.9 million
Stats from statista, and scrutinisable but ballpark accurate. Is 770,000 much too high? yes.

The original meme says “technically”, it’s talking about numbers, that’s it. Your bias toward the embarrassed millionaire trope led you to miss the point.
