As a species. We need to go to space. All else is secondary.
No, not really. The earth isn’t in nearly as dire of situation as you’re making it out to be. We haven’t even explored the Amazon or the oceans. There’s plenty we can do here to make the world a better place. Earth is primary, space is secondary. Plus do you really believe space will benefit average people like us in the near future? People like us will do all the labor to colonize whatever planet they find, die doing it so the people with money have a place to go. Space travel won’t be free, and we won’t be able to afford it. I think all the poor will get is a one way trip to build up the infrastructure. Then the rest of us die on earth
@Ts Vetan this was the same thinking as the dinosaurs. One good sized meteor, earthquake or volcano eruption and we go the same way. This is why space needs to be a high priority
@Rene who’s so say those won’t also be a problem on another hospitable planet as well? A volcanic eruption destroying ALL of humanity is extremely unlikely and same with an earthquake. Meteors are also detectable at an extremely far distance and we’re safe for awhile.
@Ts Vetan we can scan less then 10% of the sky, and historically gotten short notice on large asteroids that have come close to earth. A space colony, or one on another planet massively increases the species survivability. Having all your eggs in one basket/planet is not a good idea.
To those bleeding heart
The Billion that UN spent are different than those in Billions Elon’s packets is UN haven’t get their greedy hands on it.
They should have a private sector competition and not the useless UN but anyways i guess this will show how incompetent they are
Bureaucracy can’t solve issues specifically non profits the incentives are structured the wrong way
As long as world hunger and problems exist non profits will get donations but if they eliminate the problem they will defeat their own purpose and if they solve the problems the source of profit will disappear too. so they should always keep things half saved half solved to justify their own existence
If it can be proved I’m happy to contribute too
Someone got paid on that stock change… elons words can control stocks… as we know
He continuously commented that he thinks Tesla stock was too high in his opinion, yet it keeps going higher. Elon never sold a single share of Tesla since he first invested, even when his company was on the verge of bankruptcy.
This is why his a billionaire. Once again, he proves his damn smart. BTW, I have given up on charitable organizations.
@J who exactly are these supporters and what have they exactly done to helping people, fixing problems and donating money to where and how?
Explain how he’s smart by offerring to donate 6b to UN if they show how to solve world hunger
Its not Smart he is just good at manipulating fools and kids to worship him
In reality he just is a fucking billionare living his life and has a community dedicated to him
Smart indeed but he is no good man
You know a little research on the charities you like before donating is a good idea.
The problem with charities is that charity’s organizations organizers take far more money than they should?
And 50 million to Saint jude hospital 🙄
Exactly! That’s what I was thinking too. Isn’t it their job to know these things? Boo.
The UN = bozos
Those same people said they needed 300 million to end world hunger like ten years ago, and well…
I like how he’s not bending the knee to a bunch of crooked, grifter bullies. He’s right, him being forced to basically give away billions of his dollars to mostly be embezzled anyway is not going to “solve world hunger”.
Agree. No wonder he’s a top billionaire. This guy really got guts
Elon should buy Monsato and dissolve all patents. That would be a big step towards solving world hunger.
That would be amazing
Charlatan
People are left to starve because it’s hard to compete and not be manipulated when you’re hungry.
God bless his soul, but if he wants this done, he will have to organize and make the arrangements, as many stand in the way..
Well said
E
Elon Musk has integrity! I respect ✊ his cause to help humanity.
Elon musk :Literally doing nothing
His supporters:Elon musk has integrity i respect his cause to help humanity
@notinsideyowall69 ah yes trying to solve world hunger is doing nothing
what donations has he made? F! Karen.. he’s building rockets to save the humans.
How philanthropic is he?? Do you know what the mission of Space X and Tesla is??
TO SEND HUMANS INTO SPACE BEFORE WE DESTROY OURSELVES. I THINK WE ARE RUNNING OUT OF OXYGEN.
IT WOULD BE NICE IF HE PAID DIVIDENDS TO HIS SHAREHOLDERS.
@ZefSide APPLE IS AN EVIL COMPANY, SLAVE LABOUR IN CHYNA FOR YOUR PERTY LITTLE I–ROBOT-PHONE.
@BluRey BluRey never owned an iPhone was just stating the company’s growth in other things
@ZefSide WHAT ABOUT A SMART PHONE? AND WHAT OTHER THINGS WERE YOU TALKING ABOUT. WE ARE SPEAKING OF SPECULATION NOT ACCUSING YOU OF OWNING A DAMN IPHONE, YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN.
@BluRey BluRey lol do you have fun going back and forth on youtube I have what phones are giving to me for sale by the government. They could stop the sale of said phones or whatever else is made with slave labor. Never said I support it. 3rd world countries and the people living in have to do what they can to survive and if that means the kids working then they will. My father died at 15 and I had to quit school and work to help my family so was never meant to be an agreement with some stranger who yells in youtube hope you have a good evening and a better tomorrow
@ZefSide I SPEAKING IN THEORY, I DON’T OWN A SMART PHONE ON PURPSE BECAUSE MY RELIGION WAS SMART ENOUGHT TO PREDICATE THAT IT WAS AN INSTRUMENT OF CONTROL. MAYBE IF YOU WENT TO CHURCH AND LISTENED.
6 BILLION IN METH WILL ALSO CURE HUNGER.
Instead of relying on donations, why not create farms and gardens that are sustainable to make food production less reliant on donated funds? The less sustainable he food source is, the more funds it needs. As more funds are piled, I feel like many people there are profiting more than I can ever make in a year. It’s like making a business out of hungry people by keeping them hungry.
Because they are too corrupt and greedy!
Exactly no one thinks about how to do it
Instead they think of ways to manipulate and utilize to earn profit for themselfs
Humans are fucks including myself
youre being to rational here
Because they probably can’t. Everything we can at the grocery is probably outsourced from somewhere else because the environment that they lived can’t grow it. There are things that you can grow in tropical settings like Florida or Hawaii but can’t grow in Michigan.
@Whitney Pyant most of the items you find from grocery stores are from California, Mexico and Asia. Fruits and vegetables tables can grow in different settings but most of those we eat can grow Mexico. They are cheap to produce in either Mexico or Asia. Other than cows, chickens are also very cheap to grow or farm plus, they come with a lot of eggs. Pigs are also easy to grow since they will eat many types of food. A mix of wheat, vegetables and fruits will do. You will learn what they like to eat while their piglets. It’s work and a lot of poop smell but it’s also a cheap meat to produce. Saying we can’t do all these is stupid. I come from a town in the Philippines where we do all these. We use the mountains, land fields, rivers our backyards to grow rice, vegetables or fruits. Some also grow pigs and lots of chicken farms. It’s a town where there tons of poor people and even more poverty in nearby towns. By keeping our environment sustainable, people have food to eat even if they don’t have money. Elementary students are taught how to grow vegetables and how to make healthy soil. They are also taught how to deal with composts.
Like romania the EU gave 2B and they didn’t do anything whith that money they steal it
UN is hypocrate by wining on elons fortune who is working for best of future, what about other billionaire institutions like islamic oil giants who are destroying the world through fossile fuel
hmm… $6 billion spread over 42 million people is just $142.85 per person… At best, that’s food for a month or so, assuming none of the funds would be needed for distribution and storage (which is unlikely… on average, about a third of charity donations go to the charity organization itself, for things like payroll and administrative costs, rather than the target in need). That doesn’t solve world hunger, it just postpones it a few weeks. Solving it will require permanent and sustainable food production and distribution in multiple nations, at the very least, which is gonna need a heck of a lot more than just $6 billion.
@أنس I see it just fine. As I noted, you would need to provide permanent and sustainable food production and distribution to have any significant impact on the problem.
The “food companies and farms” you suggest buying simply do not exist in these areas for anyone to buy — they would need to be built, from scratch. And $6 billion is just not enough for that.
To permanently solve the issue of hunger for any given region, much less the world at large, would require far more than just one farm as well — it would require thousands of them, in multiple nations.
Land must be purchased and prepared, packaging and canning facilities must be built, warehouse and distribution centers must be built, and wages must be paid.
This, of course, assumes there is already an existing infrastructure of roads or rails to support distribution, and end-user storefronts to receive and sell goods from the warehouse/distribution centers — otherwise, that’s more needed construction.
And none of this happens overnight, either. Construction alone could take years. Training could take years. Heck, just obtaining the materials to even BEGIN construction could take years on top of all that, depending on the stability of the region (very very few would be willing to risk valuable transports loaded with valuable construction material in a warzone, for example).
And those thousands of farms will require time before they can even begin to produce crops. Some areas simply do not have soil suitable for agriculture, so it would need to be enriched and prepared first. Again, we’re looking at years of work just to get some of these fields ready for their first crop.
All that, all those years of near-constant work and effort, and no one has a meal yet.
Do you understand the scale of the problem now? And all of this^ is vastly oversimplified, at that. Six billion is a raindrop in the ocean compared to what is needed.
@Olen Cone you are right sorry I will take back what I said I will delete the comment 🙂
I’d like to understand the long-term plan too to ensure the money creates sustainable food sources. Or are we only solving the problem temporarily.
There is no plan.
That’s what we all want I least I wish that
6 billion ??, yhey have budget of 100 billion and still look at situation.
Because it won’t. Just throwing money at something doesn’t make it better.
“Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish, and you feed him for a lifetime.”
Personally I like the fire variant of that analogy better.
“Give a man a fire and he will be warm for a day. Set a man on fire and he will be warm for the rest of his life.”
Tell me how this males anything better
Nice quote by the way
@Eric Thomason even better
UN’s open scam to get Elon Musk’s money
100 million in Carbon Capture Xprize also
He’s probably right. But still … can’t believe people actually like this vaporware salesman. People lick his ass as if he’s some kind of Messiah. He’s not. He sells visions and either doesn’t deliver, or he delivers a super shitty version of what was promised. He just hopes people forget and a lot actually do.
Promised in 2012: Giant Hyperloop with self-driving cars.
Status in 2021: A tiny death trap of a tunnel with LED lights and taxis driven by people.
Promised in 2013: Supercharging will always be free.
Status in 2021: Nope.
Promised in 2016: Full self-driving cars (Level 5) by 2018.
Status in 2021: Still at Level 2.
Promised in 2017: Tesla-semi would be out by 2019.
Status in 2021: Nope.
Promised in 2017: Trip around the moon for two private citizens in 2018
Status in 2021: Nope.
Promised in 2019: 1 million robotaxis on the road in 2020.
Status in 2021: Nope.
This is just a tiny fraction of the total list of broken promises.
So yeah; he’s a genius alright. A genius in overpromising and underdelivering.
May God bless him always hope that he will achieve his endeavours, in that COVID-19 crisis it’s very.nice of you to do something so magnificent for people and the world God bless
Bureaucracy is the real reason why nothing promising could be achieved.
Bureaucracy is lol just a prettier name of communism
The blockchain will solve it by providing transparency and storing all the information about the transactions in the decentralized ledger which will be unable to be modified
If Musky would give a Billion dollars to put food in the mouths of the hungry each time he puts his foot in his mouth it would be the end of world hunger if he doesn’t run out of money first .
If he puts up 6billion count on me for a hundred dollars. Elon is moving up.
Another awe-inspiring video! ❤️❤️ Am investing my time and money in crypto now, this new cost is a clear sign for new investors to come in ✅✅…

Trading crypto now will be very smart but trading without a master is not
I got Expert Felix information how amazing is he?
I’ve worked with 4 traders in the past but none of them is as effective as he is , his trading schemes are astonishing !
You same crybabies cry about why the rich man who earned his way to the top, doesn’t spend 6 billion dollars to “end world hunger”. But then turn a blind eye to the 2-3 TRILLION….with a T…that your government wants to spend on utter bullshit. That mind you, none of “we the people” chose to spend it on, and most of it, we have no idea what it is in fact being spent on. If it only takes 6 billion to end world hunger, what’s 6 billion to 2-3 trillion? Looks like you’re beloved government could have ended world hunger a hundred times over. But no….let’s not get mad at them. Let’s get mad at Elon for not spending his own money. How dare he.
Well that’s a hell of a lot better tospend your obscene wealth on then in goingto space..
That un official what’s his name he’s a multi-millionaire via kickbacks he gets every day has he committed to giving that money to end world hunger, hunger is because of too much taxes
all official of un world food programme just tell jorge zoros 18 billion dollars donation to use it in feeding all he hungry of this intire planet to solve the world hunger 3X, thank and pray and faith to our Almighty Creator the only hope for salvation in this last days and in coming judgement day
Elon Musk . This is the greatest news to the world. There are about 93 countries worldwide with food deficiency. What would I do with six billion usd.
I would provide 2000 equiped boreholes with solar power pumping systems complete with water towers for farming in each of these 93 counties. The United nations can provide agriculture extension services and seed. The rest would be over time. In a few years, the world would be green with sufficient food supplies and vast employment opportunities.Each water source can cultivate at least 300 acres of land.
Total cultivated land would be 600,000 acres per country put to food production. Elon Musk kindly get in touch.
They should work with your plan
Super solid connection their, Yahoo 🤣
More Trump Supporters actually helping people, fixing problems, donating money
Elon a while ago donated $50m to St. Jude for cancer research and $100m to xprize for decarbonization effort.
And whats that 0.000000001 per cent of his combined wealth
@notinsideyowall69 even if it is 0 percent of his wealth he still made a change others did not dare to do
@أنس well others dont have a billion dollars laying around
Yahoo Finance needs to invest into better internet connection.
Dont worry once Starlingk is ready Elon will help Yahoo with the internet issues 😛
Funny how RICH WEALTHY PEOPLE are always asked to save the poor with their money. It’s their earned money. Who are you to tell how one person should spend and manage their financial wealth. Go get a job or donate your own money.
UN statement is desperate and inutile. The billionaires are now more powerful than the United Nations.
Pathological lying criminals, Musk and the UN.
If the UN is not corrupted….
Jeff gonna be pissed if he pulls this off..
The hell does Yahoo finance know about world hunger 😂😂
Why dont you ask UN and US federal orggans to really show what they claim.
How much of the contributions comes in to hungry childrens stomacs, and how much “disappeares” on the way?
So show what happens with every dollar, from gift to the hungry child.
Is it 5 %?
3 %?
That goes in to these childrens screaming bellies?
How many scollarships for byrocrats children have had to be payed before the first bite?
Yes you are right they should ask the federal because the federal can literally just print a trillion dollars and give it to them to solve world problems and it wouldn’t actually create that much inflation
I will invest in Elon’s companies. I just think he is such a positive influence on humanity
Luke 12:33-34 kjv
“Sell that ye have, and give alms; provide yourselves bags which wax not old, a treasure in the heavens that faileth not, where no thief approacheth, neither moth corrupteth. For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
33.7 Billion gets pumped into Africa in AID and loans that never get paid back a year. Half the money just vanishes no questions asked. So yeah I say IF YOU CAN’T FEED EM DO NOT BREED EM! Why must this communist mentality be spread where rich who work hard must share with the lazy and useless? Paying my student loans feed my 15 starving kids. He has why cant he give? Where is their humanity? It is yours you worked for it so you keep it.
So this will feed the starving for a day not for the rest of their lives and in a few months they will be coming around for a hand out of another 6 B. Elon can spend that money on a lot more constructive things than feeding a family of 40. Like building dams in the desert to farm fish and pushing our technology advancements. Where as wasting money on WOKE and SJW aims is not the way to go. Creating jobs feeds people not handouts.
UN: 2% of Elon Musk will solve World hunger
Yeah yeah we know right UN 2% Elon fund will be the actual spending on feeding, 98% in their pockets.
Money can’t solve the problem. Only Innovation can.
This would surely bankrupt the food supply. Imagine the massive shortages!
You are just saying nonsense
Elon is growing on me. He is an inspiration.
6 billion dollars deposited to a crypto coinage account will net 10.25% interest from lending over 1 year affording the World Health $5,125,000 profit per month in that year. The original 6 billion which remains untouched will always produce this profit. Problem solved! The World Health people just have to think like Elon to know that this his way of finding people who are intelligent. It a simple math problem!
good jab there musk ,if its always about fund the problems had already solved years ago the true problems lies on the people and the organizations that corrupt to the bone
World hunger would be solved if people stop popping out babies in the desert.
Fax no machine
How to solve world hunger: cook something up and feed people.
What’s holding back that progress: corruption, greed, racism, colonialism, religion, different opinions…All comes into play.
The law even stops you from giving people food because a lawsuit might happen in case they get sick. Now we getting into specifics which only the law cares about ; your everyday Joe don’t got time for that. And you know, if a homeless wants to sue, he will because some are addicts and will steal from you even if they are relatives.
So if you really want to stop hunger, a law will have to made . A law which states homeless can’t sue if they accept free food.
UN is a corrupt organization and a political means for western powers.
I would like elon musk to be the next president
ELON MUSK LEAD BY EXAMPLE,SET UP YOUR OWN MUSK HUNGER AGENCY WITH YOUR OWN OPEN SOURCE ACCOUNTING,SHOW THE UN HOW ITS DONE,YOUR LORD IS WATCHING
If musk donates 6 billion$ to un for world hunger jake paul said he would donate 10millon$ to the charity I know jake paul is rich but still I don’t think he is gonna give 10 million$ to charity anyways
“And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.”
Matthew 19:24
Haiti is perfect example of how all the $ is stolen and little if any gets to the poor. Duh.
Look at California as a means of throwing money towards “homeless” initiatives that don’t do anything. It’s political corruption & good for Musk for calling these assholes out!
I am sure that there won’t be an answer from the UN WFP about solving world hunger. Good call out from Elon to show how shady and greedy most 0f the world so called philanthropic and humanitarian organizations are they all have agendas thats why we don’t have the HIV virus cure, peace in the congo and the middle east,…. all of that because the UN makes big business out of it to pay their bureaucrats while doing nothing. Speaking from first hand experience
World hunger
Wait, the guy from the UN did not say it could “help”. Of course it would. He said it would “end” world hunger if they gave $6 billion. Enormous difference. That was why he specifically challenged them to show their work. They currently bring in about $8.5 Billion per year and have not made much of a dent.
Corrupt goverment politician will enjoy and not the hungry people!
I am sure you can send $ to help hungry folks around the world except if you did that then Christ Jesus would be worthless HAVE YOU NOT READ IN THE SCRIPTURES THE STONE Which THE BUILDERS Rejected HAS BECOME THE CORNER STONE GOD DID IT AND I AM EXTREMELY GREAETFUL
thats the kind of task that will cause artificial intelligence to exterminate us all.
Hmmm…I get the feeling this is not the WHOLE story…
Thank you Elon Musk for shutting up the lies of UN and CNN.
Elon Musk is definitely one of the best thinkers today
money cannot solve world’s hunger. but can try solve stomach hunger problem with agriculture and food programs.
Experts has joined the room😂
Great sir
This audio was annoying to listen to. Reminded me of my low connection during zoom sessions for class.
I never thought that such an organization could be this horrible
hope its a good plan man, i’m fucking hungry
Let’s be real 311 billion dollars is enough to feed humanity for 3/4 days . Do we trade the future of climate change to feed people today when large amounts of money are waisted yearly to feed these people? Why not just let people use the land to farm ? America has enough farm land we could easily feed the world if we did not pay taxes for land growing food.
Il glad musk isn’t spending money on useless stuff like sending himself to space….
2:20 Is it for the year? Or is it to date? those two things are mutually exclusive.
Elon musk could be the antichrist why i say that because everybody is looking up to him like his some god.
Thank you, Mackenzie Scott, for not being this douchey.
Man first created a fruitful paradise and life with Mama Nature. She gives freely to the fruitful man. Where are the wise men who do not destroy her to put food in his own belly?
We could solve world hunger today if we would, we can produce 10X the food we all need. It’s not a production issue.
Now, your probably worried about religion, poor religion, getting picked on, aaau. Look, people are compelled, instinctively rational
to congragate about a single idea of God. At the moment religion can not really justify it position. They can’t explain it. Why is it that
people are compelled to congragate about the idea of God? I’ll give you a hint. The universe is a living existence.
Christianity needs to wake up, lose its self centered point of view, because this strengthens its overal position to a certain extent.
Hahaha, they are paying their citizens to create food shotages by push lawn mowers over crops and using agent orrange. So how the f….will they dolve this. They are the cause of this. Make me laugh. It will be another endless money pit for corruption like every other project. With this scandemic the world has lost its faith in the UN… the un is simply a tool to oppress those who dont share the same views as them. All 200 nations that bowed the knee to this beast will suffer consequences gravely..These people dont care about your way of life or your religion. They are rulled by the global elites.
But they did, and he didn’t do it. How do you guys still dick ride such a horrible man.
False, the UN had to claim you can’t solve the entirety of world hunger with $6 billion, you can only diminsh the problem, therefore, he doesn’t have to donate everything even though they gave him a plan.
@SilverDamascus But they have him a plan, he agreed to it. Of course you can’t end world hunger with just money, but with $6 billion dollars you could achieve a lot.
Well, Musk gave them nearly 6 million shares. Their plan only involves distribution of food however, and nothing to actually sustain food growth. So when this charity is inevitably asking for MORE money after receiving an amount they claimed would END hunger in the world, I can guarantee Musk will point out what grifters they were and how they wasted $6 billion on making more starving people.
Internet: _”Elon Musk could solve hunger in the whole country/whole world with $44 billion/$6 billion, but he buys Twitter instead”._
First, those claims are totally false, Elon Musk said that if they showed the plans of how to end world hunger with only $6 billion, he would give the money, then one guy at UN had to say it was all clickbait, $6 billion would diminish the problem but not solve it, Elon Musk made a donation of almost $6 billion that maybe it was for UN, but many people on the internet still believe those false numbers and that he doesn’t donate anything.
Second, even if those claims were true, go ask the government for that money, Elon Musk has billions, the government has trillions, they wasted trillions on pointless wars in the Middle East, and unlike Elon Musk, the government can just print more money, printing too much money is a bad idea, it causes inflation, but the money printer is going brrr for so long, so many trillions were printed, that printing $43 billion is nothing at this point.
This is total bullshit. You can not stop world hunger. You can not keep feeding and not helping them to be self-sustained. There’s a famous saying “You can not help a person by giving him fish instead of teaching him how to fish.” Have to do both. Give them food while teaching them to grow their own food. I can say the UN boss is making millions off the donation and living large. I do not believe in charity organizations that get paid big bucks and lining their pockets.
Lmao the un responded with a plan to save 40+ million people in 10+ countries and then elon ghosted them😂😂he bit his tongue on that one
