Musk tweeted that he would donate $6 billion to end world hunger, and then didn’t do that
God, does this man ever log off?
Responding to a screenshot of a CNN headline that read, “2% of Elon Musk’s wealth could help solve world hunger, says director of UN food scarcity organization,” Musk tweeted that if the U.N. World Food Program “can describe on this Twitter thread exactly how $6B will solve world hunger, I will sell Tesla stock right now and do it.”
WFP director David Beasley called his bluff, and actually outlined how the organization would use the $6.6 billion. Musk, who is worth approximately $239.2 billion, never responded to Beasley. Less than a year later, he bought Twitter for $44 billion, ending world troll hunger instead.
