  Hey everybody. Welcome back to the space news
• 0:04
  pod. This is a show about SpaceX NASA
• 0:07
  and space flight. I'm your host will Walden.
• 0:10
  And in this episode, we're going to be taking a look at Elon Musk
• 0:14
  giving away his fortunes to help people in need to help people
• 0:20
  get food, and get water and sustain themselves.
• 0:24
  So, let's get right into it because this is a pretty big
• 0:27
  one. Elon is going to be giving away
• 0:28
  his fortunes. But there are some sort of
• 0:33
  bullet points that he wants to hit that he wants actually other
• 0:36
  people to hit in order to get this done six billion dollars.
• 0:41
  So it all started. Let's do this, let's do this.
• 0:43
  It all started with this tweet, dr.
• 0:46
  Eli. David fact, check Two percent of
• 0:51
  Elon, musk's wealth is 6 billion dollars, okay, pretty normal in
• 0:56
  2020, the UN food program raised, eight point, four
• 0:59
  billion dollars. How come it didn't solve world
• 1:03
  hunger in. This is there's a screenshot
• 1:05
  from 2% of Elon Musk. Wealth could solve world hunger,
• 1:08
  says director of un food, scarcity organization, that's on
• 1:12
  CNN business. Okay, why didn't it?
• 1:18
  Solve world hunger. The eight point four billion
• 1:20
  dollars and if Elon musk's 2% his six billion could do it.
• 1:25
  What is it? What are they?
• 1:26
  Just do it, right? It does get it over with just
• 1:28
  solve world hunger. That's that easy right?
• 1:30
  Just get throw some money at it. Ilan.
• 1:34
  Tweeted a little bit down the line here.
• 1:36
  If wfp can describe on this Twitter thread, he's calling
• 1:41
  them out right here. Describing this Twitter thread.
• 1:43
  Exactly how six billion dollars will sell World.
• 1:46
  Hungary Hunger. I will sell Tesla stock right
• 1:49
  now and do it. That's, that's calling them out.
• 1:54
  That's throwing down, the gauntlet show me where you're
• 1:57
  going to do, or what you gonna do with the money.
• 2:00
  And I'll give you six billion dollars and then he says in this
• 2:04
  is the important part right here, but it must be open source
• 2:09
  accounting. So the public sees precisely how
• 2:12
  the money is spent. So he wants to know where his
• 2:17
  money goes. Not only him but he wants the
• 2:19
  whole public everybody in the world to know where not only his
• 2:24
  six billion dollars goes. But where the wfp the show is
• 2:28
  brought to you by backblaze, I use back place to back up my
• 2:31
  podcast. My video files, all of my
• 2:34
  writing stuff, and all my photos.
• 2:36
  And you get unlimited computer backup, for Macs, and PCs for
• 2:39
  just $7 a month. You can backup your own
• 2:42
  documents photos videos, drawings, Objects, all of your
• 2:45
  data and access your backed up data from anywhere in the world
• 2:49
  using the web app and you can access the files on your mobile
• 2:52
  to iOS Android apps all covered. And this is the cool part.
• 2:55
  This is my favorite part. You can restore it by mail, a
• 2:57
  hard drive will come to your house with all your data shipped
• 3:01
  to your door. I could come to your business to
• 3:03
  and you can restore return refund program so you can buy a
• 3:06
  hard drive restore, send the hard drive back within 30 days
• 3:10
  and get a full refund. So basically they ship you this
• 3:13
  hard drive and You ship it back and you don't ever pay for it.
• 3:16
  Which is the perfect program for somebody who has huge files.
• 3:19
  You don't want to waste days and days, downloading terabytes and
• 3:23
  teraflops of data. And if you're worried about
• 3:25
  accidentally, deleting your files to bucks extra month, you
• 3:28
  can increase your retention history to one year, and I use
• 3:32
  it for all of my video. Files comes in super handy.
• 3:35

• 3:38

• 4:39
  This money goes. And there's, you know, there's
• 4:44
  there's debates about where the money comes from, where the
• 4:47
  money goes, how the money spent who gets the money, what the
• 4:51
  money is used for? Is it used for leaders?
• 4:53
  Or is it used for the people is it used to say people's lives?
• 4:57
  Whereas it used to back up the local governments in order for
• 5:01
  them to protect the people that are nearby.
• 5:04
  So Ilana saying open source. This give everybody the
• 5:08
  information where Are all the money goes.
• 5:12
  It's pretty simple right? If they're doing the right thing
• 5:14
  they got nothing to hide. That's what I was always told.
• 5:18
  Right? If you do the right thing.
• 5:20
  Yeah, you shouldn't have to worry about it.
• 5:22
  So Elon says this stuff, right? And there was a there is a
• 5:28
  reaction from David Beasley. I believe it was.
• 5:31
  Let's see. David Beasley this?
• 5:33
  The next tab over the wfp? Chief.
• 5:37
  David Beasley says, headline not accurate?
• 5:41
  Is this one right here? Not accurate 6 billion will not
• 5:44
  solve world hunger, but it will prevent geopolitical instability
• 5:50
  Mass migration and say, 42 million people on the brink of
• 5:53
  starvation. An unprecedented crisis in a
• 5:56
  perfect storm to a covid conflict and climate crisis
• 6:01
  crises So that could do a lot of good, right?
• 6:07
  The instability. Geopolitical instability.
• 6:11
  How's that money going to be spent towards that.
• 6:13
  What does that going to do? What does that even mean?
• 6:15
  If you put six million or 6 billion dollars, do you have to
• 6:21
  get into politics in order to put this money into this?
• 6:26
  Geopolitical instability Ilan. David Beasley says this with
• 6:30
  your help, we can bring hope build stability and change the
• 6:33
  future. Let's talk.
• 6:35
  It isn't as complicated as Falcon heavy, but too much at
• 6:40
  stake to not at least have a conversation.
• 6:43
  I can be on the next flight to you, throw me out if you don't
• 6:46
  like what you hear. So David is like, I'm all-in,
• 6:52
  right? I'm going to take a flight from
• 6:53
  wherever I am. I don't care where it is.
• 6:56
  You say you're going to give us six billion dollars to help
• 6:58
  people out. You could possibly say 42
• 7:01
  million people on the brink of starvation with the ilan's help.
• 7:06
  So, yes, get on a plane. Fly across the world.
• 7:10
  If you have to take a rowboat, whatever you got to do, save
• 7:13
  those people's lives, but Elon, if you want to go back to it,
• 7:17
  again, it must be. Open source accounting.
• 7:21
  So the public sees precisely how the money is spent.
• 7:27
  David Beasley I haven't seen a reply from David Beasley yet
• 7:30
  about that but there's a possibility.
• 7:34
  The David Beasley probably won't do that in the U.
• 7:37
  N-- probably won't do that. The UN world food program.
• 7:43
  The wfb probably won't open source where they spend the
• 7:48
  money if it's available. Sure.
• 7:52
  Maybe it's in a private meeting with Elon, maybe he sees it and
• 7:56
  he goes. Okay, so this is what you're
• 7:57
  going to do with it. Seems reasonable, why don't we
• 8:00
  publish it? And if they say yes, maybe we're
• 8:05
  going to save a bunch of lives together.
• 8:08
  Ilan in the world food program. Now, that would be a great
• 8:12
  amazing thing. I think that would be One of the
• 8:16
  better things that Elon is done with his money.
• 8:19
  Six billion dollars, he save a bunch of people.
• 8:21
  I mean you're gonna eventually sent a Starship to Mars and
• 8:25
  you're going to make sure that humans survive.
• 8:28
  If there is a catastrophe, our planet Earth but also be like
• 8:35
  joked about something and it's kind of a weird thing that
• 8:37
  happened the other day on his Twitter.
• 8:39
  He want to start a university and I'm not sure if this is real
• 8:43
  or not. So let me know in the comments
• 8:45
  below if you think this is real or if you think he's just
• 8:48
  kidding. He wants to start a university
• 8:51
  so let's take that. Take a look at that one too.
• 8:54
  I'm thinking of starting a new University, Texas Institute of
• 8:58
  Technology and science tuition isn't Dogecoin and you get a
• 9:03
  discount if you have a dog so you have to buy.
• 9:07
  Okay, so this is the funny thing, right?
• 9:09
  You have to buy Dogecoin or mine it I guess in order to get in
• 9:15
  And then it would be really hard to to mind all that Dogecoin.
• 9:18
  If you start now in order to get in, you know, when he, when he
• 9:21
  builds this like, possibly, I don't know.
• 9:23
  It depends on what the price is when you when the open this
• 9:26
  thing. But the ti, TS the Texas
• 9:29
  Institute of Technology and science.
• 9:32
  That's what Ilan said, another tweet.
• 9:36
  Take from that, what you will, but he wants to open this
• 9:40
  University. Texas Institute of Technology
• 9:43
  and science. It's probably going to open near
• 9:45
  Austin. I'm assuming because that's
• 9:47
  where he's from. It'd be cool if it were in
• 9:49
  Brownsville where spacex's which is about 20 minutes that away
• 9:54
  that way? Yes.
• 9:56
  Yeah. That way about 20 minutes that
• 9:57
  way from me. So 20, 25 minutes away.
• 10:01
  So it would be cool if we were down here.
• 10:03
  So let me know what you think in the comments about that, let me
• 10:06
  know what you think about the other issue.
• 10:09
  And I also want to talk to you guys real quick about what's
• 10:11
  happening with myself and Starbase and the last couple
• 10:17
  days of my life. Because and I don't usually, you
• 10:20
  know, go into too much detail about stuff because it's just
• 10:23
  this isn't the show for it, right?
• 10:25
  We're doing stuff about space, science Tech NASA, space flight
• 10:29
  excetera space, X but this has to do with SpaceX and this has
• 10:33
  to do with my coverage of Starship.
• 10:34
  So I thought I'd let you guys in on something the last couple
• 10:37
  days I have been sick and also I sprained my ankle somehow when I
• 10:45
  was sick so I'm not able to go down to Starbase.
• 10:50
  Like how silly is that, right? So like I'm Shuffling around my
• 10:53
  house because I had a pretty big fever and I was like shuffling
• 10:56
  around my house getting ibuprofen and like ice packs and
• 11:00
  stuff. Cold water and like taking care
• 11:02
  of myself and sometime during that time, my ankle Twisted for
• 11:09
  my foot. Something.
• 11:11
  Yeah, so I am I'm out of commission for about a week and
• 11:15
  a half, probably maybe, two weeks until I'm like 100%.
• 11:18
  But right now my foot is under my desk on a pretty much a bag
• 11:22
  of ice and it's swollen up but it's good.
• 11:26
  I can walk on it. I don't do much with it right
• 11:29
  now. I don't go.
• 11:30
  Go out. I'm just taking care of myself.
• 11:33
  It's 100% healing time so I can get back down to Starbase.
• 11:37
  So when I do that, live Starbase coverage will continue and also
• 11:42
  more more coverage of Starbase will continue on this channel.
• 11:46
  So that's cool. I'm excited.
• 11:49
  And I'm in good spirits and I'm on the mend.
• 11:52
  So we're all good. Everything's good, and cool.
• 11:57
  So thanks everybody for watching.
• 11:58
  Let me know what you think in the comments.
• 12:00
  And also thanks to everybody else.
• 12:01
