> In October [2021], David Beasley, head of the U.N. food agency, tweeted a cheeky congratulations to Musk for reportedly earning $36 billion in a single day. "1/6 of your one-day increase would save 42 million lives that are knocking on famine's door," he wrote.
> A few days later, Musk tweeted: "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."
Last I heard he owed $11B to the US Gov in taxes in 2021, I hope it was put to good use.
Kind of a self-fulfilling prophecy on his part, isn't it? $6B wouldn't solve world hunger, but it'd put a dent in it, and the size of that dent probably scales with how well the money is managed.
