Musk’s Crusade against Global Hunger<\/h2>\n

Elon Musk has been stealing the headlines ever since he disrupted the automotive industry with Tesla Motors. But the Silicon Valley entrepreneur is no one-trick pony – his impressive portfolio of industries includes electric aviation, cell-based meat, neuroscience, and solar energy. Yet another passion venture Musk is actively invested in is finding a solution to global hunger.<\/p>\n

In 2019, Musk publicly lobbied to shift global attention towards ending world hunger. During a press event in Tokyo, Musk said “There are 40 million people dying every year due to starvation and malnutrition… We should be focused on making sure everybody has a meal and address the long-term problems later.” This statement was met with a much-needed call to action and an important reminder to the world’s power-players.<\/p>\n

As the head of a multi-billion dollar corporation, Musk’s influence has been pivotal in pushing global development conversations forward. Over the past few years, he has ushered in the ‘Musk era’ of ambitious entrepreneurship and technological innovation. Through his multiple initiatives and the initiatives of the organizations he backs, such as the Musk Foundation, Musk has remained committed to addressing fundamental human needs such as clean air, clean water and nutrition.<\/p>\n

Musk’s statements during the Tokyo press conference were even more outstanding in light of the devastating consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic. Millions of people are facing extreme poverty and food insecurity, leading the world to the brink of an unprecedented humanitarian crisis. To this end, Musk stepped up to make donations to research organisations such as C19 Funds, which aims to accelerate the development of effective diagnostics and treatments.<\/p>\n
