6 billion to solve world hunger?

[karanggatak]

That is a huge amount of money but I am not sure if it is worth selling the Tesla for the whole thing? I know, I know humanity before the immaterial things but honestly let’s not forget that Tesla is huge company and it feeds N-number of families around the globe. With Tesla all set to create more plants around the Asian countries it will also become amazing opportunistic Center for those Asian families.

I’m not sure why would he need to sell Tesla, if he can just give share from his personal wealth. I hope you guys understand what I really meant here. I support the donations and charities.

it mean, that number cant solve world hunger from that person opinion. money cant solve a thing if money bearer cant use it good enough, because the problem can be found from bringer.

how much tax you paid indicating how much youve got in a year, but we forget if that value doesnt mean he can spend money for the other thing, think about how is the future waiting his company.
and charity come from people heart, just let them play and play our role.

Elon's mindset is good and it is indeed a good deed to be made, but in reality that $6 Billion isn't gonna solve the problem.

I agree with you. I think Elon Musk's desire to help reduce world hunger is not in the amount of money he gives, but in his caring attitude towards people who need help because in reality not all rich people in the world want to do or have the same mindset as him in term of humanitarian assistance, it is much more valuable in my eyes because he has a sense of caring for others.

Personally, I am amazed by Elon Musk's concern for his fellow human beings regardless of how many of his tweet have affected the crypto market both positively and negatively. This is a different case in my eyes.

For me, Elon might be selfish in pursuing his own personal financial desires but he has still a selfless heart for the poor people. $6 billion is already a big amount of money but still, it cannot cater all the people who are suffering from world hunger. People will more appreciate it if he can extend another help too in providing jobs for the poor people who can't hardly survive from their daily lives. With all the riches and big influence he is enjoying right now, i know giving jobs for those jobless people will be very possible if he really wants to help.

Even how negative a person is, there's always a good thing in him that will really come out when the welfare for other people will be at stake. I think its more of a humanitarian instinct, to do more good to others without expecting for returns. And in this case, Elon Musk is a great example.

With Elon's position right now, if he really wants to help those needy people particularly those who are in the state of famine, his money can really help a lot. But the most important is, its not the money that matters, but its the love and passion of Elon to help other people who are struggling to survive.

Never know the plans of a person/group especially if it is publicly stated. Nowadays, many people with hidden political and business interests take action on the basis of caring for humanity as a mask. By selling company shares means donating on behalf of the company. Sacrificing 2% of wealth in order to grow wider brand awareness is not a problem.

[Zanab247]

I guess the damaged covid-19 virus has caused to the world economy, 6 billion cannot solve it. Till know many countries have never recover from the loss they experienced few years ago in the world economy. Inflation has created hunger in so many countries which will take them 4 or 5 years before they can over come hunger in the land. Even though government share 6 billion, it will not end the hunger in different countries in the world.
Many companies are looking for loan to use to improve their company to avoid collapse in the future. Now that many countries are now adopting bitcoin in their various environment, it will definitely end hunger totally in the world economy.

[syedakhlaque]

The world,s poverty, hunger, and low standard of living in the big issue of today. The UNO is also always making efforts to help such suffering people. I think this is good news that "Elon Musk is ready to sell his Tesla shares to donate $6 billion".
The service of suffering humanity is, in fact, the ascension of humanity. Different donors and institutions are doing this good act.NGOs are also busy helping the poor community. Bill gates also had good work for this noble cause.

when you look deeper it seems what you are saying is something that makes sense.
let's just see now that news about this is happening everywhere, even in my country, it's crowded about this and many people are praising this even though there has been no real realization.
the plan has just been crowded, especially when the implementation will be how they and the related companies will be cheered for in this regard. in the end they actually only sacrificed a little by getting a lot of advantages and highlights

I guess there's always a hidden agenda in every good thing that is Elon did, and i know we will find it out soon. The fact that he is making sacrifices for now for his own future profits, then all these things are still all about for his own selfish desire.

I think Elon does not only manipulate the crypto market, but he is also capable to deceive the crowd through his own mask. He might win this game for now, but i know karma will eventually work for him in the future.

How Elon Musk is even planning to solve hunger issue? Just by buying lots of food for $6 billion? That would solve the problem for couple of days or months. If he plans to direct this money to build an infrastructure that will produce or generate food, than I cant imagine how long will it take till everything starts to give first fruits of success. No doubt it will take years. In several years hunger problem will evolve and $6 billions will not be enough.

Although Elon Musk can do this charity work that is very well received by those most in need, I think they would be making a serious mistake, first people would be getting used to things being given to them, that there is no need to work to eat because a millionaire would feed them, in this case if I am completely in agreement with Donald Trump and Robert Kiyosaki that everyone should learn to fish, but not to give them fish, this will cause people to take refuge only in what they are given , and his own experience living in a country where a ruler gives the lazy everything they need to live, what they achieve is that people are formed without the desire to work and lazily.

You said it right buds! some of those people who will receive this charity work will be used to keep getting this money for free. Instead of providing this kind of charity works its much better to train them how to make money or hire them to work for your business, this is much better for long-term solutions, good compensations that will allow them to send their kids to good school, I view this point as solution permanently and not just for temporal.

Musk can create livelihood where people who he wanted to help can work and have a decent job. With $6B he can establish more business from different sides of the world, especially those places where poverty is really being felt.

Yes, there are many people who want to work, there are also many who are lazy, I believe that the lazy would do them even worse harm, if he generates sources of work it would be a much greater help.

At the moment I live in a country where it is very difficult to have a company, those who have a company have it, it is to help their workers and not leave them without work, if Elon Musk helps those people to capitalize with better production, with material cousin, I think it would be better because it would open new jobs, and that would be a better help

[Issa56]

I don't think that can solve world hunger problem, actually it can reduce the amount of hunger in the world but it can't completely eradicate it because I believe some people in some part of the world won't have access to the fund so I believe it can't completely eradicate it because some people wont benefit but I believe it will help lots of people that benefit from it.

[albon]

Hunger will not be completely eliminated, but it can be reduced by a large percentage. 6 billion dollars. It is a huge amount. Therefore, if this amount is used in poor countries to reclaim agricultural land and build factories, job opportunities will be created, agricultural, industrial, and animal production will increase, self-sufficiency will be achieved, and unemployment rates will decrease. and poverty.

sometimes, people wont glance at lazy person, they will find the other person who want to work more and more. prefer to give hard worker than the lazy, of course the lazy will hard to get job. not only from outside, but also from inside.

the main problem is, no fund to create new job for them. we can say that rich must give opportunity, so they can give the best for their life. sadly, rich have own decision to control it money.

[Fredomago]

You can answer that by yourself. If you are in their shoe would you hire those kinds of people? For sure, you won't lazy. People deserve what they have now. There are always opportunities to every person who is seeking to change their life, you just need to find your space and do your best to enhance more.

the main problem is, no fund to create new job for them. we can say that rich must give opportunity, so they can give the best for their life. sadly, rich have own decision to control it money.

They have the control and most of them are greed to kept more and if there are who love sharing it's just a little portions of their wealth.

Yeah it wont be completely eliminated because global hunger is something that we are trying to solve for ages which 6billion wont really be enough imho but at least this one

would cover up a big scope of giving out who are need in food which is really a good step or move made out for the sake of this problem but expect that this wont be enough

but at least lots had been benenfited on this one even though its not really that enough but at least there are people who do make out considerations.

[husnija]

Of course it is not only a contribution but a challenge that the problem of hunger cannot be solved if corruption is still rampant, rulers are more concerned with their self-gratification and ignore the little people

$6B is indeed not enough but it will make a difference to wherever it may go to. let's accept that it will not solve the world hunger, but will make a dent with this long-running prob.
what would be better is the self-sufficiency of the people to be addressed. because if you will just give food for few days, it is not sustainable. provide jobs, agricultural farmland or whatever is necessary so people will not rely on the government. look at long-term solutions not a band-aid ones.

I don't know how much Elon Musk's goodwill is, but what I am clear about is that this is not the real solution to the problem in question, we always have to think about the negative aspect of things, and there are many, commercial brands, wanting to have worldwide attention, that you are recognized worldwide, it is redeemable that if Elon Musk does this from the heart he has heaven completely won, because it would be a unique gesture of charity, but if and only if he does it from the heart, rest and hopefully that no, it is for other purposes that somehow make it relevant in the eyes of the world, or that it is looking for other objectives.

Because it cant completely eradicate doesn't mean is not possible, remember it was just a statistical estimations which means the data collected can either be above or a little below. Elon didn't give the estimate, the value tweeted draw his attention and he feel if it's magically possible, he will help.
Haven't you seen how Paris fund was distributed? With proper management, that fund will get to everyone but the question is, is it possible that every country will be that transparent to spend the fund wisely when they are given the chance to do so.
Life is not balance though, it will be very hard to completely eliminate poverty.

[josephdd1]

Does it really only take 2% of musk's wealth to solve world hunger?
How do we assess this phenomenon based on its purpose, from a humanity or economic perspective?

I know that capital of Elon Musk is about 340 billion dollars, so 6 billion is really only 2% and if is such a small portion of his money can help a big number of people to overcome hunger, it is great. But actually, I don't think that Elon is a kind person who is altruist. If he helps, he will be in a public eye again, and I think that he just enjoys being in a public attention.

[raidarksword]

For me, any amount is a good start of feed the hungry countries and it's just a matter of being a humane in this world to help and feed to people who are hungry. Any world organization cannot rely on one man alone, people should also stand up and raise funds to eradicate world hunger and I know for sure Elon Musk is willing to give a humanitarian funds to feed the hungry.
