"It's not complicated. I'm not asking them to do this every day, every week, every year," Beasley said during his appearance on CNN.
"The top 400 billionaires in the United States, the net-worth increase was $1.8 trillion in the past year," he continued."All I'm asking for is .36% of your net-worth increase. I'm for people making money, but God knows I'm all for you helping people who are in great need right now. The world is in trouble."Subscribe to push notifications
Where's your promise elonmusk ?
Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish, and you feed him for a lifetime.” Mathew 4:19
Fair thing to ask when making a donation. Although my monetary worth doesn't come close to elonmusk I would still ask for proof. It's time we question stats to ensure validity.
How about paying taxes like everyone else.
Try it and watch. Besides you will never miss it.
the fact that a number of people could be so ridiculously rich is a testament on how broken the modern money system is!
Saving everyone creates more and more starvation. The planet is over populated!
He has no business solving the world hunger problems. That's not a burden he should be forced to carry all because a few certain people feel entitled over the wealth he has amassed. He should refrain from trying to please people.
That’s a lofty goal. How about feeding the under-nourished children in the USA?
How about solving hunger and homelessness in the USA for starters. America cannot allow its citizens to live like animals on the street going hungry and suffering from illness and psychosis. Why are we not taking more about this.
How about be a good human being
Do not do it!
DO IT ELON. NO STRINGS ATTACHED IF YOU WANT TO HELP!
if money was problem; hunger would never be a topic
we gotta build the silent earth commune and cat sanctuaries collectively
Elon is looking for any reason to sell his Tesla stock before it crashes. Tesla is way overvalued.
Not an Elon fan, but in fairness, world hunger is a lot more complicated than just money. It's also politics, war, climate, water, agriculture, distribution...on and on. If it was just a matter of buying people food, I think the problem would have largely been solved already.
Oh is that how you guys are framing it?
UN left the chat.
And now UN will run !
elonmusk NO ONE SHOULD HAVE TO PROVE ANYTHING TO YOU SIR GIVE EXPECTING NOTHING IN RETURN! Jehovah God is waiting on you sir just come back to GOD! Organization to help the poorest communities! REDEEMER God gave you Wealth Pay back WHAT YOU PROMISED GOD! PoorLivesMatter
WFP
Doubtful
He ain’t gonna sell shit
That's just 2 per cent of his wealth?
This take REEKS of cynicism.
There is coming the time when the UN will say it was a figure of speech and they dont actually know how to solve world hunger but he can send them the money anyway so they can organize another committee.
They buy bitcoin and sell then bun dogecoin… 🤣🤣🤣
People usually adventure in their minds and follow through with their own perceptions and that include politicians. A big example, now they are putting emphasis on space exploration instead of helping the poors and eradicate hunger.
6 billion to the UN means only 60 million to reach on the ground.
Well damn it, let's get on it! Enough of us (me included) sitting around talking....let's make it happen! If Elon Musk says he will pony up 6 BILLION dollars..let's make a plan and 'Just Do It'. First, we need the experts in the field...together, to knock around some ideas.
If famine wasn't so profitable, it wouldn't exist.If famine wasn't so profitable, it wouldn't exist. So, it'll never end...
Just need to convince Elon to invest in food industrialisation startups. That's what he does best and will benefit humanity the most. Also in line with his vision of making the human race multi planetary.
Wanna help solve hunger? Get billionaires to just buy up low income rental properties & transfer the titles to the occupants instead of wasting all that $$ on NPO operations/fundraising. Give people a stake, a reason to be proud, & let them decide what’s best for themselves.
Sure, Elon.
Buying food .. every cycle as shortage incur.. adding stock on the food programme.. what isn't clear is it once or continuous.. elonmusk UN
The UN should call his bluff. Elon Musk is a an apartheid blue blood daddy's boy who isnt especially intelligent or interesting. Like, Tesla wasn't even his idea. He just bought it. He'll never put his money where his mouth is. The UN should make him show his true colors.
Nobody, nobody ever blames the incompetent and corrupt governments where the hunger crisis is.
I think he's just being a dick. People are hungry right now everywhere. If he gave a crap he would be feeding people just to stop human suffering. I'll eat my words if you can prove to me he actually has heart. I'm betting he's a bioandroid. Why do that instead of space tourism?!
UN just wants 6 billion to line their own pockets.
BizarreLazar I guess he noticed our conversation. 😁
Then they said 6 billion will solve the hunger problem for now. Its never enough. I bet 85% of that money would be stolen in salaries etc. That food will never reach the ppl. Armys of corrupt countries wont distribut the food.
Come on! UN!
I can give a single idea that would have a similar impact
He's not dumb. There is no plan he will agree to. The UN also didn't say it would solve the crisis, but essentially said they need 6bn to HELP prevent 40+million deaths to famine, not 'solve' world hunger. TAXTHE1PERCENTFFS
What's it take, 7.5? I really want to win this bidding war.
cobbo3 ninsiimasyl simonsayzdotxyz
I have an idea to stop world hunger
He missed the point
It's best to ignore whatever Elon Musk says.
DeborahmCollier Oh Elon ……
BITech I guarantee with 1000 times more money- 6 trillions. The world will still more poor people than before. US gave 3 trillions since last year, and poor people are more than ever.
ElonMuskSolvesWorldHunger
Can be written of his annual taxing procedure. Why not, then?
Oh wow a whopping 2%. How will he ever live with only $286bn? He could give away $6bn every year and still get richer
He is clever enough to send people on Mars, but has no clue on hunger crisis !!!
Lolllllll
TechInsider Seems fair. If you're going to make such a bold claim, have verifiable math to support it. Tesla ElonMusk
Wah this is the news 👏👏
Now that would be impressive 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
......... as we wait for WFP to show us how this is possible
Never take those fellows at the UN seriously...
🤔.
TechInsider Huh👀 Trouble ahead...
He jumped on a misleading headline by FakeNews CNN
They don’t have to explain anything - he said he’ll sell his stock not give it to a charitable organization that helps the hunger crisis. So what
TechInsider Excellent, time somebody called the bluff of the NGO poverty industry.
TechInsider Another bungler?
BITech I thought Hollywood was taking care of World Hunger. Where are all those rich liberals with big ideas?
BITech
TechInsider grow hemp and cannabis and development of hemp building green materials and earth materials and solar energy and hemp fuel and bio technology and
UN should give explanation
They can't. It just gets tangled in the web of slippery hands. A percent to pay employees, a percent for taxes, supplies go missing here, they sell them there. It's all a fucking scam. Give everyone 2 BTC. Then teach them to feed themselves instead of waiting for an agency to
Yes that math seemed off to me from the getgo.
Why stop at 1 billionaire? All the billionaires in the world should chip in.
Over to you, UN!
He is right. Teaching hungry people to fish is important rather than giving them cooked fish. UN is just doing business and trying to defame this great man. They know he won't give his hard-earned money to anyone. Shame on you, UN.
Momalt
Wow! Funding approved! Will this Diwali be hunger free, UN ?
That is the point. Politics of envy must end.
This is excellent leadership. Those who are claiming to have a solution are being asked to come up with a coherent plan to have funding approved. elonmusk
...zeal and push as a personal project even if its one of your side projects. We know you can and will make an impact if you decided to focus on one world issue like food and now is a perfect time not when you grow old like Gates only started doing at the tail end
elonmusk you miss the point. The point is not UN explaining or 2%. If you have taken giant strides in ensuring a lot of impossible are now possible let's see you throw such efforts towards humanity and making the earth a better place. Face the world food issue with the sort of..
Does he really not know how?!
UN don't want it ss much as any other union. Truth.
Omg, he is brilliant. They want his money to mess poor nations.
They cant do it cz they play politics too much.
freecoin freecoin_defi freecoinarmy BNB BEP20 binanc
The problem with world hunger is socialism/ communism. They want to give them a fish for a day . Instead of teaching them how to fish.
Lol pay your taxes moocher
He will sell the stock because he knows they are already over priced and if he sells it without reason the prices would go down. What an a**hole.
World hanger is not responsible of one man. It's however every countries and international institutions responsibilities. Those countries where hanger strikes more due to natural catastrophe needs special attention.
It would be easier if elonmusk learnt for himself what hunger is.
BChakutema
elonmusk is other greedy businessmen and not a role model ! Wealth hungry greedy businessmen who are not ready to pay taxes
We shouldn't be encouraging these mega rich men to shift the balance of existence with their money. I guarantee this will have unexpected and undesirable consequences.
UN organisations can “smell” money very well but seem incompetent in delivering expected outcomes. Eg: WHO- Covid-19! WFP hasn’t this program been around for a while collecting huge amount of money and people are still hungry?! Why now, why 2% of Musk’s, why not Jeff/Bill…?
$s in the hands of more people is far better than in one hand. It’s not a rocket science.
Elon should pay his taxes first
Unless they want that money for themselves.
Narcissistic personality disorder
Just not enough unless those who are responsible for such pathetic condition decides to work hard.
Alaa_elnawawy gamed neek
If Musk truly wanted to help end World Hunger, he would be giving projects that are working around the world. He has no intention of doing anything. If he did want to help, he would do it without making comments to anyone.
What a grade A A**whole.
Someone need to define what it means by world hunger with margin of error, good stats. Let’s start from there
The UN will hire more personnel and buy luxury cars for them to solve crisis by sending massive in TA/DA.
I have an idea. 80% increase in shear capacity of concrete slab using ECC concrete with a thickness of 3 cm. I wanted to know who is interested in investing in this idea? the prototype is built and tested(If you know someone who is investing in ideas,please introduce me to them)
Maybe that is why he want’s to leave this planet, because no money can fix it, maybe we’re too late to change something. So.. a new planet sounds like a second chance. 🤷🏻♂️
don't pay tax but 2%..... insane how they come off as saints when they offer a pittance to charity when more than ten times this should go to taxes
Well the UN and every state of the United States have no problem robbing victims. So they want Elon to give them money, so they can steal it and starve them anyhow.
Elon the man... For calling UN out. I am also interested how$6 billion can solve world hunger...
In other words he has no intention in helping.
samempire It's like telling the Kenyan govt to account for the taxes collected.
The dawn of Skynet or the Matrix. Machines are asked to solve world hunger. They realise humanity is the disease of this planet and kills and/or enslave humanity. There you go. All problems solved!
The UN agency assumes its all about money...
That’s not his problem to solve.
Why elonmusk, why not ask UNSC P5 members to donate part of their profits from arms sales to the UN instead? Yemen
Elon just called their bluff lmao
They’ll probably come up with something. Irrespective, the man needs as much money as is humanly possible so that he can create as much shit as is humanly possible. Let him be
I think Elon should use that money for irrigation, reviving commercial agriculture and industrial production. Otherwise the 12usd per month by WFP is only solving immediate hunger needs of people mostly able bodied people esp in Zim who literally just need a job to self sustain.
Oh great. One more worthless news cycle debating some random topic that will just go away in a week.
You see because elonmusk has to solve every single problem for us. He created more than 1T value for the world, provided tens of thousands high skilled jobs. He is making sure humanity will pass the great filter but if he can't end the hunger crisis he sucks.
But it has to be on that Twitter thread, get your facts right.
Badass!!!!!!!!!! 👊🏼😎
They’re not gonna figure it out
Bruh if you were Muslim you should pay Zakath. So all problem solved.
Give them $6Bills, watch them fail over the next however many years it takes for them to spend that money, then fly to Mars.
MY MAN elonmusk v🤔🤔🤔👏👏👏🙏🙏🙏
Counterpoint: how does going to Mars help the hungry?
We can think of several LOCAL solutions, elonmusk… BuyVinyl_PeopleEat LVilleVinylSale
How might UN people get rich off this idea? Perhaps they should explain that to Elon.
Bravo.
They can’t. Plus he said, even if they said how, it would be done through open source accounting.
埃隆·马斯克说，如果联合国能够描述他2%的财富如何解决世界饥饿危机，他将出售特斯拉的股票
That was almost 12 hrs ago .. slow refresh
wonder how's that elonmusk ventilator making doing? this is blatant gaslighting to just say 'I don't know bout' that, it does not sound like a good plan, let me employ those hungry people in cobalt and emerald mines'. We should not have this convo, we need to tax rich 80% stat
Use 2% to by food? Pretty simple plan. And losing 2% for him is way different than you or me.
Why doesn’t Elon Musk come up with the idea to help feed world’s hunger himself since he is such a genius? Or do his ideas only work with machines and to make money for him?
I wanna see what the UN comes up with. I think Elon is a man of his word.
someone please take the challenge
A few thoughts for the UN. Achieve vibrant food systems. Develop climate resilient plants. Establish better livestock feed solutions.
good luck
He’s full of shit
That's the power of Shiba Uni🥰💥😍💯👏😂
