With his net worth, that of Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerburg, Mike Bloomberg, and others, Food Hunger could be solved and they would be seen as better human beings for it.

He will promise billions if they provide a plan then he will ghost them, gix some billions to some other unknown entity and claim that he came through.

And fanbois will rejoice!

I think he’s right to ask since musk made a big announcement to the UN that he would donate 6 billion to world hunger. There were some caveats attached, which were meant. Crickets on the part of mr musk.

You don't become a billionaire with global industries under your belt without extensive knowledge about logistics, supply chains and international cooperation with foreign governments. He has an army of lawyers and executives who's entire lives are devoted to stuff like this.

it's a systems problem. A shit-ton of money might help, but only if we rework the systems from the ground up, so to speak. We Americans waste up to 40% of our food. It goes all the way from farm to supermarket to restaurant to household. There have been some excellent recovery efforts, but not nearly enough. It's a huge, multi-level, global scale problem... which you would think we would have devoted real serious energy towards solving. And the changes in our climate do not bode well for some areas on this orb...
