JAKARTA - The two richest people in the world have come up with an idea to tackle the problem of homelessness in America. They suggested that Twitter Inc. turn its headquarters into a shelter or shelter for the homeless.

As reported by Reuters, Amazon.com Inc Founder Jeff Bezos on Sunday, April 10, backed an idea put forward by Elon Musk, who recently became Twitter's biggest shareholder, to turn the social networking company's San Francisco headquarters into a homeless shelter. Because only a few people work there during the pandemic.

Or do portion. Worked out great and makes it easy for employees who want to volunteer. https://t.co/r0dZWsMxWT https://t.co/NbUNl1bkJ3

Bezos tweeted an article by tech-focused blog GeekWire from May 2020 about Amazon's eight-story family homeless shelter attached to its Seattle headquarters. He said the initiative worked well and made it easier for employees who wanted to volunteer.

Bezos also suggested turning at least part of Twitter's headquarters, if not all, into a homeless shelter. Musk agreed in another tweet, calling it a "great idea."

Musk, who has more than 81 million followers on Twitter, started the poll on Saturday, April 9, and asked users to vote on whether the building should be changed. The poll garnered more than a million votes in less than a day, with more than 90% saying yes or agree.

I’m serious about this one btw

The chief executive of electric car manufacturer Tesla Inc, who frequently tweets about his company and other topics, has left people confused as to whether he was joking or being serious. However, Musk clarified this time he wasn't kidding. "I'm serious about this one btw," he tweeted, following up on last Sunday's topic.

A separate poll by Musk on Sunday asked whether the "w" should be removed from the Twitter name, leaving two voting options, "yes" and "of course."

Musk had suggested a series of changes to the premium subscription service Twitter Blue last Saturday, including reducing its price, banning ads, and providing the option to pay in the cryptocurrency Dogecoin.
