Current Events > Elon Musk literally has enough money to save the world from most issues

At this point I'm over pointing out the financial issues. I'm fucking sick of the modern left's logic of: The exitence of billionaires should exempt us from having to do our best for the world. I don't see any of you saying Musk could solve world hunger volunteering with me at the food bank.

I would never subject the poor to having to be around an asshole like that. Theyve got enough problems already.

Its NOT his job to do it though. Government spends near 1 trillion dollar annually to feed the military. Maybe we can start there.

Yup. I heard something the other day they spent 7 trillion dollars last year, and that didnt solve anything.

No the problem is you going on about money somehow not being able to buy food.

If you buy food, you create jobs and trade. You reduce hunger.

And if the money comes from billionaires who have the resources to hide their wealth and not pay taxes like everyone else, so much the better.

If just feeding them could solve things, those donation drives that we've had all these decades would have made some headway by now. You need measures to raise them out of poverty, and that's going to be hard in places where their very governments are causing their issues. You're basically just simplifying this way too much as if it's something we could do right now if only we had the resources. It's not like we should just give up and provide no aid, but it's basically just directing your anger at the state of the world at an easy target.

Do you really want Elon Musk running world?

He paid money to buy Twitter, those who received the Twitter money should spend that money to save the world from its issues

Here's a thought. Is there anyone (famous billionaire, perhaps?) who is making money off of huge govt, and specifically defense, contracts? And as a follow-up, do any such people have influence over legislation and policy?

The people who sold twitter can now, why isnt anybody making a stink over them refusing to help with most issues either

Messed up. I mean at least pay your taxes.
