It'd take 37bn USD a year to end world hunger. I'm also sure that if you are a ghoul and don't care about that 100bn in investments would have a far bigger return on investment if they I dunno fixed their failing infrasctructure, used it to offer free healthcare, free education or literally anything. I've since stopped counting the amount of 'lethal aid' the USA has given but by now the USA could've combatted world hunger for about 4 years. Priorities I guess gotta pump up those MIC stock prices.

Remember when Elon pretended to care about this and tweeted at the UN about how he'd give billions if they could produce a report showing how they could use $6 billion to help alleviate world hunger problems? And then he didn't do anything except self-deal?
