There are plenty of people doing low paid jobs like phone support from home.

Just like high earners like LeBron James are not allowed to WFH and have long commutes.

It just depends on the nature of the work.

Oh, there's definitely poor people doing it as well. Not necessarily as well.

We've looking into this, as deeply as we can as "outsiders". We homeschool, but are firmly "middle class" from a national perspective and easily in the top 1% income in our county.

Regardless of income, the key factor seems to be the rationale. If parents want to homeschool because they're involved with their kids' lives and want them to succeed, they'll do well relative to the available public school options.

Always nice to see a silly Elon quote
