What does stock price have to do with anything?
That someone could put a data center in space for the price of 100 years of eliminating world hunger doesn’t mean shit.

People always make this claim about world hunger elimination with no sources. Keep in mind we make more than enough calories to feed everyone on the planet many times over, it's a problem of distribution, of getting the food to the right areas and continuing cultivation for self sufficiency.
That’s right, it’s an allocation of resources problem, and some people seem to control almost all the resources.
Even the most magnanimous allocators cannot defeat the realities of boots on the ground in terms of distribution. It is a very difficult problem that cannot be solved top down, the only solution we've seen is growth of economic activity via capitalistic means, lifting millions, billions out of poverty as Asia has done in the last century for example.
