Musk Agrees To ‘solve World Hunger’ For $8bn, But There’s A Catch by ghostcenturion(m): 5:19am On Nov 02, 2021
Elon Musk has agreed to solve world hunger in response to a United Nations official who suggested the Tesla founder would be able to do so using just 2 per cent of his fortune.
[]
Musk was responding to comments by David Beasley, director of the UN’s World Food Programme (WFP), who repeated a call last week asking billionaires like Musk to “step up now, on a one-time basis.”
Beasley suggested 2 per cent of Musk’s wealth, around $8 billion (US$6 billion), would be able to solve world hunger.

And now Musk has called his bluff in a Twitter exchange where he said if presented with an exact plan for how world hunger could be solved with that money he would sell enough Tesla shares to do it.
“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 wrote on Twitter.

“But it must be open source accounting, so the public sees precisely how the money is spent.”

Musk’s current net worth is $413 billion (US$311 billion), according to the billionaires index.

No man can single handedly solve the problem of hunger or poverty in the world ...

Great response by Musk. There must be clear plan on how the money could be used to solve hunger challenges. In a place like Nigeria, even if he sold all his shares and gave it to Nigeria alone, it still would not be enough, because politicians are more hungry than the common man in the street.

Nope currently he is worth almost more than $335 billion. He is richer than both Bill gate and Jef bezos combined who are in 2nd and 4th positions respectively.
