Could 2% of Elon Musk's wealth solve world hunger?

See  2025’s Counter-Tweet of the Year? by Dan Mitchell.

"I’ve already shared four contestants for the counter-tweet of the year.

• Slapping down a leftist who wanted people to think freebies are the route to political success.
• Slapping down a leftist who wanted people to think capitalism is correlated with poverty.
• Slapping down a leftist who wanted people to think China delivers more for citizens than the United States.
• Slapping down a leftist who wanted people to think socialism delivers more than capitalism.

Today, I’m going to add another contestant. Excepts I’m breaking the rules.

That’s because this counter-tweet is from 2021. But a reader sent it to me a few weeks ago and I can’t resist sharing it more widely.

You can read the CNN report by clicking here.

What makes this tweet so appealing is that it exposes the utter hypocrisy and vapidity of David Beasley, the official from the United Nations who seems to think stealing Elon Musk’s wealth would solve world hunger.

Yet the U.N.’s budget for supposedly solving world hunger was already greater than 2 percent of Musk’s wealth at the time.

 

So why hadn’t Mr. Beasley’s bureaucracy already ended hunger?

By the way, I can’t resist pointing out that governments almost always are the cause of starvation, either because of wars or catastrophic socialist policies.

Needless to say, the two CNN reporters (Eoin McSweeney and Adam Pourahmadi) did not even mention any of these points in their article.

Yet another example of statist bias in the media, with journalists basically acting at stenographers for the left.

And I suppose this is a good reminder that the United Nations is infamous for wasting money."
