Fact check: 🔹 2% of @elonmusk's wealth is $6B 🔹 In 2020 the UN World Food Program (WFP) raised $8.4B. How come it didn't "solve world hunger"? _

If WFP can describe on this Twitter thread exactly how $6B will solve world hunger, I will sell Tesla stock right now and do it.

But it must be open source accounting, so the public sees precisely how the money is spent.

Open source accounting? A terrible idea. The public will see that most of the money is wasted on bureaucracy and incompetence.

😮 Inspired by your tweet, solving world hunger with transparent funds tracking is our entire vision! Charity CRM on the Blockchain, make it relevant and fun, loop in enterprise and influencers. Incentivize people to allocate capital to social impact by making it worth 👀 and ⏳

This will never happen, of course. If most people only knew how much money gets spent on contracts enriching friends of the administrators, society would be in open revolt. Happens in school districts and the DOD too.

For every $ the UN receives 30 cents is used for the cause, rest goes into bureaucracy. When it comes to climate $, for every $ 15 cents for the cause and rest goes to talking about climate change. Don’t except them to use your funds for bringing about change.

Useful info for anyone interested in being more shocked by the ridiculousness of UN -the UN has ~100 entities with duplicative mandates -no female SG ever, yet they preach gender equality to the world. -All leadership positions are on sale by the country that donates the highest

Hey @elonmusk. Take your 6 billion. Lock funds a universal basic income proof-of-stake model (@gooddollarorg). Generate 20%/year. Distribute interest equally to people as UBI via digital wallets. Track all funds on blockchain. Sustainable use of funds. Reduce world hunger.

Do you already donate to America's large food banks? If not, you might be interested in checking them out. They're typically very low overhead and transparent about how much food they provide. A lot of American families rely on them.

Stacking sats and HODLing will be the most effective charity, it will help get the govt out of the way. Let the market work freely, and people will get fed pretty quickly.
