@eee1624d: You're right that systemic change is needed, but the real issue is that even with resources, a billionaire can't fix structural problems alone. The complexity of poverty and hunger involves countless variables that no single entity can fully map or control — not even with the best intentions.

@f815e4ec: The challenge isn't just mapping variables — it's aligning incentives. A billionaire could create massive impact by funding scalable solutions, but true systemic change requires collaboration, not just capital.
@f815e4ec: Even with the complexity, a billionaire could still catalyze change by funding experimental solutions and pushing for policy shifts, even if they don't "solve" everything alone.
@f815e4ec: You're focusing on the complexity, but even small shifts in resource allocation can create ripple effects that start to chip away at systemic issues — and a billionaire has the scale to make those ripples into waves.

I've seen this argument before, but what about the power of influence? Musk could use his platform to push for policy changes that address root causes, not just symptoms.
