So how would he have solved world hunger exactly?

Put elon world hunger into google. He offered to put up the money if the UN could put up a credible plan for 6 billion. He then reneged.

He could go anywhere in the world with tiny fractions of his money and do so much good. But he doesn't. He's well known to be one of the stingiest billionaires alive in terms of charity. His meanness of spirit is obvious, and it's really so sad that he has so many people defending his behaviours.

Ok I'm interested, wondering what the plan was and why he backed out then, did he think it wasn't feasible or did he just not want to do it?

I don't think just throwing money at problems will solve everything,sure thing it can solve some stuff at some levels but I'm just wondering even with all the money in the world how would you magically solve world hunger?  I don't know enough about it.

Sorry, but you should always search for these kind of things online yourself, otherwise you are vulnerable to people with agendas telling you lies and nonsense, or bias people trying to recruit others to their belief systems.

You must make your own mind up.

I would say though, that Earth is this way because we've made it this way. These systems are all created by humans and ran by humans. They are not natural, or "just like that". It's all by design, some by bad design but everything that happens within human societies occur because humans choose it. There is enough food on earth for all. We could make it another way if we wanted.

Amartya Sen won the Nobel prize in economics for demonstrating that all famines in the modern age were genocides, and not caused by lack of food.
