Musk is too greedy to do anything substantial for the poor. ________________ Abu Dhabi, UAE (CNN Business)A small group of ultra-wealthy individuals could help solve world hunger with just a fraction of their net worth, says the director of the United Nations' World Food Programme. Billionaires need to "step up now, on a one-time basis", said David Beasley in an interview on CNN's Connect the World with Becky Anderson that aired Tuesday -- citing specifically the world's two richest men, Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk. "$6 billion to help 42 million people that are literally going to die if we don't reach them. It's not complicated," he added. Tesla chief executive Musk has a net worth of nearly $289 billion, according to Bloomberg, meaning that Beasley is asking for a donation of just 2% of his fortune. The net worth of US billionaires has almost doubled since the pandemic began, standing at $5.04 trillion in October, according to progressive groups Institute for Policy Studies and Americans for Tax Fairness. https://www.cnn.com/2021/10/26/economy/musk-world-hunger-wfp-intl/index.html
Did bill gates and buffet donate a few billion or was it just for show
When was it that the rich is automatically obligated to serve the poor? It is called generosity for a reason. Although you may be right (I dont have any background info on what Musk has done for the poor), no one has a right to blame him for not doing so. Let’s put it to a smaller scale, if 2% of your net worth can save a homeless man, would you willingly give it away? If you would, then have you to anyone? If you say you have never seen a homeless man, that is utterly bs so… You can disagree but this is my opinion.
Zakat is an obligation for all muslims to give 2.5% of excess money they had for more than a year. Just answering your question.
Is Musk Muslim? Is US a country where its citizens are obligated to perform the same as muslims? If the answer is no, I don’t think your answer adds any value to my reply to OP.
This is not how it works. It is not how any of this works.
Do you mean hunger can’t be solved with money ? How would you solve it ?
Hunger as far as making enough food and money to feed the poor was solved long ago. The two causes of hunger are politics/war and transportation/storage of food. Even the latter is mostly solved. Might not be the most nutritious food they’re getting but it should keep people from dying if hunger. By far the biggest reason is politics/war.
Well smart people won't work for the UN
Donate your 2% net worth and have a say
Isn't world obesity a bigger killer than world hunger? Looks like we don't even need the 2% ...
Hanger was solved long time ago.
It’s not elons fucking problem to solve. That’s his money.
Who cares. Musk won’t do anything
I hate this type of mindset I’m seeing nowadays in US. This country is built on top of Capitalism. Don’t demand things from others. You lead by example. Bunch of cowards talking big on the internet. Hope you enlighten yourself out of your egotistical moral superiority. Cheers
