A few days ago, Elon Musk in an interview in CNN said that if the UN could prove that they could stop world hunger with 6B$, he would sell Tesla stock and do it.
Well, the World Food Program now presented a plan ( https://www.wfp.org/appeal-billionaires-famine ) and to me, it sounds a decent plan.
I am a bit skeptical about the delivery costs as they seem pretty low and I also wonder where 3B$ worth of food would come from as it would take effort to take food that would be wasted instead of causing local food shortages. But in general, it seems a solid plan although I am concerned whether the 42M people would enter a sustainable existence or they will be starving again in the next round of disasters.
I honestly hope that Musk and other Mega-Billionaires will take the leap of faith and donate there. There is a food crisis and these people deserve help in my opinion.
What do you think?
Do you believe the math checks out? Do you think the Billionaires funding this would be a significant forward step that would help millions of people, or it would just be a temporal solution and these people or other people like them will be starving again in 2 years?
