Tesla and SpaceX founder Elon Musk on Twitter replied director of the UN World Food Program (WFP) David Beasley, who recently asked Musk for $ 6 billion to fight hunger.

Musk noted that if WFP can explain exactly how 6 billion will save the world from hunger, he will immediately sell Tesla shares and comply with the request.

The answer came after publications Beazley tweeted about the worsening global food crisis amid the coronavirus pandemic.

“Hunger, destabilization in countries and mass migration – this is what will happen if we do not take action. Elon Musk, you only earned $ 6 billion yesterday – exactly as much as we need to prevent a catastrophe! Please help! I offer you a unique opportunity save 42 million people from hunger “, – turned to businessman Beasley.

However, Musk put forward a kind of condition to the director of the WFP. In a follow-up tweet, the businessman noted that the UN World Food Program should be open to transparent accounting. In this way, the public will be able to see exactly how $ 6 billion will be spent and how these funds will help effectively end hunger in the world.

Earlier it was reported that due to the growth of Tesla shares Elon Musk’s fortune approached the $ 300 billion mark… Before the owner of SpaceX and Tesla appeared on the first line of the Forbs list, the publication considered the founder of Amazon Jeff Bezos the richest person.

Notable photojournalist Domingos Peixoto filmed Brazilians looking for food in a truckthat transports bones and by-products to the animal feed and soap factory. The truck driver told the photographer that people used to come and ask for bones for their dogs, but now for themselves to feed their families.
