Elon Musk’s fortune could feed millions of people

For Argentine journalist Martín Caparros, hunger is the greatest failure of Western civilization, especially when sufficient technology and knowledge are available to eradicate it. In his book “Hunger”, he denounced the lack of political will and citizenship to confront the issue. “Since the 1970s and 1980s, the land has had the capacity to produce food for everyone. The problem is that food production is done in order to supply rich markets. For thousands of years, the concentration of food wealth has been in the hands of a few,” said author of Boquita y Ñamerica.

For its part, the United Nations has included eradicating hunger as the second goal of the Sustainable Development Goals, a path that countries must achieve before 2030. However, achieving such numbers is far from being achieved on time, which makes many scientists fear that The failure to achieve the Millennium Goals is repeated.

David Beasley’s campaign did not stop: yesterday he spoke again to the cameras of what he called a perfect storm: the devastation of Covid-19 added to international conflicts and the climate crisis. If it does not react in time, the planet will face “state destabilization and mass migration, which will cost 100 times more than the $6 billion we need,” the official said.

The public is waiting for the response of Elon Musk, whose fortune amounted to 335 thousand million dollars, which made him receive news yesterday that he is the richest man in the world, a difference of one hundred billion dollars over the second, Jeff Bezos, founder of Amazon.

In outright silver – the phrase is rarely fair – Musk’s wealth exceeds the GDP of almost all Latin American countries, with the exception of Mexico, Brazil and Argentina. The above gives the validity and validity of “Plegaria vallenata”, by Antioqueño composer Gildardo Montoya: “Hear me, Diosito Santo, / You knew nothing of the account / Tell me why the talk / You distributed it so poorly”
