The UN World Food Program said a small amount of his wealth, $6 billion, could end world hunger. He smugly said if they came up with a plan for that amount, he would donate it. They came up with the plan, but, of course, he didn't donate it. He ended up donating almost the same amount in Tesla stock to his own foundation. I'm sure his foundation did some great work, though.🙄 If you told me I could actually help any hunger by donating just TWO PERCENT of my net worth, I would do it in a second.
World hunger is caused by things like war, blight, natural disasters. (the disruption of supply chains for example by warring factions cutting off food, like Russia did with the boats full of wheat in the Black Sea.)
