Musk may very well reject the data, but there are enough wealthy people & foundations (Gates etc.) and $6B small enough an amount that it wouldn't be hard to raise the money. Heck, the UN WFP's own annual budget is about $9B. You'd think that amount of money would allow them to solve world hunger and still have $3B left over to respond to emergency situations etc. WFP's accounting is usually highly suspect though. For example, a recent report on food waste reported about 900 million tons is wasted. But when you did into the details, they included inedible parts of food. That is a ridiculous methodology: I weighed a banana & its peel when I saw that, and it turns out that by that methodology banana peels alone would account for roughly 30 million tons of "waste". Add in orange peels and pineapple rinds and that's about another 20 million tons. Maybe Musk wouldn't follow through, but a claim of $6B to solve a problem that has been intractable for decades seems like a ridiculous claim. If the WFP suddenly had a magic bullet solution like that, there would be plenty of people chipping in to help. Their lack of details on how they arrived at that number and how they would implement their plan if they had the money speaks for itself though.
