Elon Musk proposed turning Twitter's headquarters into a homeless sanctuary, causing Jeff Bezos, the founder of Amazon.com Inc., to tweet his agreement.
The billionaire tweeted a poll on the idea, claiming that no one makes an appearance anyway - a noticeable reference to the company's policy of allowing employees to work remotely.
The tweets come just days before he's scheduled to join Twitter CEO Parag Agrawal at a business meeting to discuss staff queries.
Musk, who has over 81 million Twitter followers, asked fans to vote on whether the facility should be transformed. In less than a day, the poll received over a million responses, with more than 90% agreeing.
Meanwhile, Bezos tweeted a post about Amazon's eight-story family homeless shelter linked to its Seattle offices, stating the idea was a success and made volunteering easy for staff.
Bezos also suggested that at least a section, if not all, of Twitter's headquarters, be converted into a homeless refuge. In another tweet, Musk approved, calling it a wonderful concept.
Tesla Inc.'s CEO, who constantly tweets about his company as well as other matters, has been known to leave people uncertain if he's joking.
People on Twitter were divided on whether or not to believe Musk.
"Amazingly crazy thought," one user wrote. Musk confirmed, though, that he was not joking this time.
Following up on the matter yesterday, he tweeted, "I'm sincere about this one, btw."
At Twitter's headquarters, which is located in an area of San Francisco plagued by urban deterioration and drug addiction, homelessness is a particularly apparent issue.
At the same time, Musk suggested in a series of tweets over the weekend that users who pay for premium services on Twitter get verification check marks and no advertisements.
After Twitter Blue user Michael Burry raised his concern about losing his authentication checkmark, the billionaire and new Twitter committee member assured him that he would get it back and urged that the firm issue authentication check marks to all Twitter Blue users.
Users in the United States, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand can subscribe to Twitter's monthly membership service, which includes premium features including ad-free articles and the opportunity to withdraw a tweet before it is seen by others.
Musk has already spoken out about the lack of an edit option on Instagram and also how few celebrities like Justin Bieber and Taylor Swift post on the platform.
