  • You are definitely not beating the “deliberately obtuse” allegations.

    In no way did Musk insist that the entire plan be tweeted in plain text as tweets, and no reasonable person would consider putting a link to X (pardon the pun) in a Twitter thread as not counting as ‘putting X in a Twitter thread’.

    “not linked document” is literally a lie, why would you think it wouldn’t be identified as such, when his exact words are so readily available?



  • Do you think this is some new idea that hasn’t been tried yet, or something?

    The people still starving are starving due to abuse, neglect, political instability, and war. None of those things can be fixed with money, or improved production. What good is improved production going to do the masses when the local warlord takes control of it (and therefore the food supply)? Arguably, creating those tools in areas where that unrest/instability still exists is likely to make things worse, not better, because it literally makes the oppressors more efficient.

    The bottom line is that you can’t end world hunger until/unless there is world peace.




  • They aid by creating and developing agricultural infrastructure, not just buying people food.

    I include all of that when I say “food” above. Those things also don’t have a cost that goes away after a handful of years.

    The headline talks about “ending hunger by 2030”, not ending hunger until 2030. The notion that any fixed dollar amount of X spent now will/could “end” hunger in 4 years time is ridiculous, full stop.
