According to Bloomberg reported on October 31, last week, a United Nations official publicly called for as long as the world's richest man, Tesla CEO Musk donated 2% of the total income, about $6 billion, to help the world avoid famine. Musk tweeted Sunday asking the United Nations to explain how to solve the famine with $6 billion, and if it was transparent, he would immediately sell Tesla stock for donations.
In a tweet in early October, UN World Food Programme Administrator Bisley called on Musk to "take immediate one-off action" to "help the world's 42 million people not starve to death." In an exclusive interview with CNN last week, he reiterated this view.
Musk responded on Twitter that if Bisley could come up with a definitive plan for how to use the money to tackle world hunger, he would sell enough Tesla stock to donate.
Musk tweeted: "If WFP can accurately describe on this Twitter post how $6 billion will solve the problem of world hunger, I will immediately sell Tesla stock to donate." But it must be an open and transparent accounting method that allows the public to see exactly how money is being spent. ”
Musk currently has a net personal net worth of $311 billion, and his wealth is still increasing. According to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, Musk added $9.3 billion to his wealth on the 29th of last month alone. By comparison, $6 billion is a fraction of his net worth.
