Elon Musk says he will immediately spend $6 billion to end world hunger if UN can prepare right plan

Elon Musk agreed to make a contribution of around $6 billion but on one condition for the World Food Program.

Elon Musk threw a challenge at the United Nations over the weekend. It was not about his companies or his current favourite - the Dogecoin, but about something as serious as global hunger. In a response to United Nations World Food Program (WFP) director David Beasley - who told CNN that a one-time payment of 2 per cent wealth of Musk or billionaires alike can solve global hunger - Musk, kind of, agreed to give his money but only if the UN comes up with the right strategy.

“If WFP can describe on this Twitter thread exactly how $6B will solve world hunger, I will sell Tesla stock right now and do it,” Musk tweeted in a response to a tweet by Dr Eli David, who is a co-founder of a company called Deep Instinct. David tweeted out a screenshot of the CNN article mentioning Beasley, along with some snark on WFP’s work towards eradicating global hunger. Musk joined him to send some provocative tweets, however, with conviction, later adding: “But it must be open source accounting, so the public sees precisely how the money is spent.”
