Not just Musk, but many of the Billionaires on the list.
In a world where the average person would need to work over 4 million years to earn what some billionaires have, let’s put their wealth into perspective. Choose a billionaire and spend their fortune on everything from basic necessities to luxurious extravagances.

Pfft, I capped at 10,000 private islands and a yacht.
TIL muskrat could buy “end world hunger” for 9 years and with the leftover hire 8500 people at $500k/yr to manage the 9 years of hunger ending logistics
His fortune is a house of cards. He’s only wealthy as long as he doesn’t spend too much at once. Selling large amounts of stock would crash the price and therefore crash his wealth before he could sell more.
10 years world hunger.

The part that bothers me, is the more I noodle on this, the only way I see to correct it also involves mass sterilizations. Hey, I’ll pay for your food, clothing, & shelter for life, but in exchange you have to have a vasectomy. I don’t think that’s a great offer. If someone has a better solution, I’m all ears.
Look at what China did to massively reduce poverty?
Education and early childhood support work, that’s why conservatives want to get rid of them
Build enough renewable energy installations to supply every person in the world and replace all fossil fuel generation.
Several elections apparently.
Several, but not all.
