NP- ‘I will do it’: Elon Musk says he will give $6 billion to solve world hunger if UN shows it would.
Beasley specifically called for action from Musk and Amazon.com Inc. co-founder Jeff Bezos, the two men atop the Bloomberg Billionaires Index. Just $6 billion could keep 42 million people from dying, Beasley said.
If the World Food Programme, using transparent and open accounting, “can describe on this Twitter thread exactly how $6B will solve world hunger, I will sell Tesla stock right now and do it,” Musk wrote in a Twitter post.
Do you think Beasley will do it? Start here and scroll up to see how this part of the conversation went. But its not looking like Musk has much confidence in the UN. Apparently UN officials offering food in exchange for oral sex from kids is because of climate change.
Why are we still part of the UN anyways?
6B wouldn’t pay the snivel service to administrate it in justines Canaduh
Why are we still part of the Useless Nations? Becoming a member of its big kids club finally gives Prinz Dummkopf a purpose in life, considering how he’s squandered it so far.
$6 B wouldn’t go far if the Clinton’s were permitted in the room.
Good on Musk for calling them out on this “openness” though.
So solving “world hunger” involves only feeding 42 million people? That’s all, hmm? Gee, I thought it was closer to a billion people.
Anyway, $6 bill/42 mill is $143 per person. For how long – forever? Or for just 1 year?
Gee, $6 billion doesn’t buy what it used to.
The “For just pennies a day” trope just got kicked in the nuts.
Better would be to ensure clean drinking water and proper sanitation. Very achievable and it would not take anywhere near 6B.
No argument, but it’s only achievable if proper long term planning is implemented. A close friend & I have gone over this particular issue at length.
The only way to make this work is if responsibility for maintenance & repairs are included as a condition in the project plan for 20 years. Otherwise, two decades out (or less) you’re back at square one with nothing more than an emptier wallet to show for your efforts.
Hunger comes from poverty. And to quote the Almighty, “The poor you will always have with you”. Throwing money to a worthless organization like the UN is a waste of time. Name one thing, only one mind you, that the UN has ever done well. Just one. I am not opposed to feeding the homeless or the poor, just keep the oversized and inept government agencies out of it.
One Thing: they let Hutus and Tutsis kill each other like there was no tomorrow.
Didn’t Bob Geldof already provide a perfect object lesson for $$$$ as a “cure” to world hunger?

Literally ALL food aid (or food itself) … is intercepted by corrupt and EVIL people and organizations who USE the Aid as a tool of oppression. Yeah … have a “conversation” about the diversion of Western Aid into the hands of War Lords and other assorted despots.
Once they got their filthy Prog paws on Musk’s cash, does anybody think that’s where they’d stop? They’d be hounding him for another $6 billion for their next virtue signalling project. Probably Globull Warming or some other such nonsense. And then the next one. And one more. And the one after that.
Again, once the camel’s nose is under the tent…
The UN, “Solving poverty $20 (same as in town) at a time. This organization should be disbanded and the higher-ups hunted for sport.
“Why are we still part of the UN anyways”
.
That is a very very good question.
When you consider that the United Nations is nothing more than 150+ corrupt 2nd world, and 3rd world sh!thole countries that are all working together to undermine,rob,rape, loot,invade and destroy the 40 first world countries.
The United Nations really and truly is the enemy of Western Civilization,no ifs,ands or buts about it.
Why are we a part of this ?
Giving the starving food depresses domestic agriculture prices making the situation worse. Giving the starving cash stimulates the agriculture sector but depresses the business climate and you create ongoing dependency. The solution is to give them good governance which includes rule of law, property rights to enable capital formation and minimal intervention, requirements which we can no longer accomplish here let alone in some distant shithole run by despots.
Not a lot of wiggle room for fraud and extortion in good governance. Maybe if they can work 20% skim in there it will become more popular?
UN: $6 billion USD will save some 42 million people
also UN: there are too many people in the world

You know … if 2.2Bn people don’t have access to clean water … here’s an idea … MOOOOOVE! Move to where you can get clean water. MOOOVE to the mountains! Live next to a stream! Follow Sam Kinison’s sage advice MOOOOOVE to where there’s water … clean water!!!

Or how about The $$ multi-Billion dollar Clinton Foundation send water purification tablets and contraptions to the lands of foul water? Nevermind … Chelsea’s multimillion annual salary won’t allow it.
Isn’t the history of Mankind the history of migration? And when you ALL move here … to North American WHITE society? We’ll all move OUT when you’ve turned this place into a lawless shithole … and we will make your OLD country our new paradise. No, that’s not xenophobia … it’s “Migration”. The door swings both ways Amigo.
One would think after decades of failure, countries would re-think their status in the UN.
As my father said, if the communists didn’t destroy the UN, it’s because they found it to be useful.
LOL…Musk just exposed the U.N. for what it really is. A money laundering institution.
I doubt Mr.Beasley will be shooting his mouth off anytime soon.
that is 42 million more immigrants that will come and enrich our culture
just sayin’
