So I don't have huge hopes for this one, but it does have a pretty doable price tag of $93 billion annually, according to the United Nations, to end global hunger by 2030.
So it cost about $465 billion over that time, which is about half of how much Musk has now.
He would still have about $500 billion to play around with, do what he wants, continue trying to go to Mars.
But again, so far, we haven't heard back from Musk on if this is something he'd be interested in.
research cures for diseases like cancer.
And this one's really interesting because the U.S.
has been a leading incubator of scientific research and medical research.
And that's using about $993 billion in investments from the government, from private industry, and from philanthropy.
And so Elon Musk, again, this is another big bet.
If he wanted to take all of his money and put it into something valuable, he could literally double the U.S.
budget for scientific and medical research, which could make a huge difference for some of these really intractable diseases like cancer, like heart disease.
And it would also help to make up for the billions in federal science funding that's been cut under the Trump administration.
That he could do for very little money if he wanted to just sort of close that funding gap.
This is the chainsaw for bureaucracy.
Yeah, he was involved in funding cuts to that.
This is a good thing to mention.
He was also involved in cuts to funding to fight against the most extreme forms of poverty, which we were talking about earlier, and against global hunger.
A lot of like sort of where the funding lies now is still under development.
But again, his track record is not great on these issues.
And research is no exception.
