#1 I believe his $6B is quite safe. Proof of concept and transparency are not exactly hallmarks of UN initiatives.

According to the UN Report on Hunger
Over 820 million people suffering from hunger
$6B/820M Hungry = $7.31

☺ POLITICAL RULES OF SPENDING 101☺

1. Ask for 3x's what you need.

2. Even if you get 1% of what you ask for, keep coming back for more. Because no one wants see their name in Headlines having VOTED AGAINST a touchy-feely social cause, come election.

2. Never solve the problem, so you can ask for more $$$$$.

3. In years 3 and after a successful proof of concept and now getting real $$$. Install the right certain people in positions to funnel $$$ back into the right vendor pockets who reward accordingly.

4. Remember to share and support the right people along the way.

5. After Politically retired (not re-elected) be appointed to Board of Directors.

#3 Crime, hunger, dirty water, poor roads, etc. - these are not problems because we lack the cash.

#4 The current UN force children to have sex for food has not solved the problem. Time to change tactics.

I think the UN is probably unhappy with the big-mouth that got Elon Musk involved.

#5 For shits and giggles, I tried looking up the 2020 UN Budget. Nothing but a run-around for 15 minutes.
