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


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.

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.

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.

For me, Elon might be selfish in pursuing his own personal financial desires but he has still a selfless heart for the poor people.


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.
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.

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.

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.

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.
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.

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.

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.

Being rich and powerful actually gives you access to many more tools if you want to protect your identity. True, not everybody can donate 6 billion bucks, but  if he really wanted to help he probably wouldn't need to, and a simple donation of that amount probably wouldn't make much of a difference.
The problem is he's expected to do charity, and that's wrong.
Lots of people feel they have a right to help others with someone else's money. Maybe they should use their own money to do that.
He is not expected to donate his money, he is expected to pay decent taxes. If his company makes so much profit that he became the richest person in the world and made maybe close to 2x profit in under 2 years that means he should have paid a little bit more taxes?

If he kept on paying taxes like the people in his company paid, then he would have half of what he has in wealth, not because his company can't afford anything, they would still be a very wealthy company, a 500+ billion dollar company even, but they would not be 1 trillion, and that's fine, don't be a trillion, be half a trillion and pay a ton of taxes.

Not that they would have to pay that much taxes, that's "worth" of the company and not how much they have, they would have to pay 10-20-30 billion or whatever more, and that would be amazing if EVERY company did that. Workers pay more from their salary on % than companies pay on their income % so it is unfair. It is not donation, it is called a tax.

You have a good point. $6B would not be enough as there are large number of countries who are experiencing poverty these days and can't even eat 3X a day. Instead of donating it literally for foods to solve world hunger which is definitely just a small amount, Elon could help the people even more through giving them sources of livelihood wherein they can feed their family and lessen poverty cases in the world. If Elon has this selfless intention to help, then his money and influence can create world change through prioritizing and giving the poor their stable jobs or good sources of income so they can work and create an income to sustain their family's needs.
Some saying that this was a PR but i do think the different thing because they wouldnt really just make themselves marketing out on just having on this way which is really not very ethical if you do ask
me on where using up a global problem situation for this kind of intention? that would surely backfire to him if there would really be someone would bust up but in overall thinking
then it is what for? He's known to be the richest and i dont see anything even just trying to hype tesla or something like that. 6B could not resolve world hunger but with this
amount then you could say that there would be lots that will really be able to eat.

That's only a small amount to solve the world hunger, however, the intention to help is big and if It's true then I would certainly admire Elon for doing that. At least he can help a huge number of hungry people in the world and that's his way to sharing back to the world from the fruits of his labor.

so the question of whether it will solve? it will definitely not but he can be a model and other billionaires might follow.
To eradicate the damage to the world, this nominal is indeed very small, but at least this can help those who really need and are hungry because there are still many people who are still very difficult to even eat.
I really appreciate what Elon is doing and I hope other Influenc and other billionaires do the same.
Instead of getting some appreciation on what Elon had done but instead he do get out some criticism or negative feedbacks about such matter on 6 billion wouldnt be enough? Yes it is  but at least he do show off some care.

Dont know if this is some publicity or something like that but its really good that he had made out some considerations on making this donation even though not enough but at least lots would really be benefiting out.

I do also appreciate on what Elon had done.

At least he is willing to contribute to one of the world's major problems. Though it is not yet received by the organization as he said he is waiting for the breakdown on how this amount will solve this problem from responsible persons on this organization, still the idea that he is willing to share some of his stocks is for me should be appreciated. Because there are also billionaires like him, but what is their stance when it comes to poverty? We know some of them have their own nonprofit organizations but if a lot of these rich people will do the same as what Elon is willing to do, that would really be a great impact to the world, and may finally lessen the hunger crisis around the world.

He's not. It's just a PR stunt. If you really want to help, you help. You don't need to broadcast it.
PR stunt? You couldnt really tell because it is really just impossible that events like these wont really go to media knowing that Elon is the richest man on the world and
every move you do make specially dealing off with big money and its impossible that no one would be noticing it but i do understand on your point about not telling
everybody if you do really tend to make donation in silent but if that kind of fame and popularity level you do have then its less likely to happen.

I disagree. Being rich and powerful actually gives you access to many more tools if you want to protect your identity. True, not everybody can donate 6 billion bucks, but  if he really wanted to help he probably wouldn't need to, and a simple donation of that amount probably wouldn't make much of a difference.
The problem is he's expected to do charity, and that's wrong.

I was laughing reading this because if Elon Musk decides today that he is going to donate this money to my Country it won't reach some people because of the level of poverty in the economy not to talk of the whole world. Inflation rate as really affected many things which made some people to fall below the absolute poverty line.

you are right, after all poverty is a matter of "mindset" not just about food
feeding all the poor people in the world will not be able to solve the problem of poverty that continues to exist in this world
mass education and also self-awareness of the person who will make the problem of poverty reduced
Poverty is not a mindset, there are people around the world that are struggling to have proper food three times a day and it is not a mindset, it is a fact. You need to identify the reason they are not coming up in life and you need to give special attention to the people who are struggling and that takes a lot of effort and time to change the situation, but setting up an amount alone will not solve global hunger.
And giving them money and money alone also isn't gonna solve their hunger and poverty, and probably that money won't last for even a week or two. The usual main reasons why they are in that specific situation is money, so for starters free proper education for the youth and free livelihood seminars for the adults and a job that is suited for them. And that will be a start to keep them surviving from hunger and eat thrice a day and eventually it can make this rise from the poverty if they manage it properly.

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.
