Look man, you’re only saving 50% of the children from starvation, so obviously your idea is bad and we should continue letting 100% of the children die until someone comes up with the perfect solution.

    I suggest we start calling this The Musk Argument.

    As in, I won't spend an inconsequential fraction of my money to solve world hunger -- after I literally challenged you for a proposal to do so -- because I don't think you will be 100% successful.

    Instead, I think I will take public actions to kill untold numbers of poor people around the world while I continue my quest to be the first smart boy with one million million dollars.
