READING NOW A discussion broke out between the UN official and Elon Musk!

David Beasley, Head of the United Nations World Food Program, made some statements in an interview with CNN, referring to the two richest names in the world, Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos.

In particular, he said, a group of so-called ultra-rich men in the world, with only a small fraction of their wealth, could help solve world hunger. After Musk responded to Beasley’s allegations on Twitter, the discussions flared up.

Elon Musk made a transparency reference to the UN and the event turned into a discussion!

Beasley congratulated Elon Musk in a post on Twitter and made a one-time offer.

Congratulations to Elon Musk, the richest man in the world, leaving behind Jeff Bezos’ $221 billion fortune. To celebrate, I’m giving you a once-in-a-lifetime offer, Elon: For just $6.6 billion, you can help us save 42 million people from starvation. Offer expires soon. Just like lives…

Then, in an interview with CNN on Tuesday, Beasley said, referring to this Tweet he sent:

I asked for $6 billion to help the 42 million people who would literally die if we couldn’t reach them. Believe me, it’s not complicated at all.

In the coming days, Dr. A Twitter user named Eli David said that Elon Musk, whose assets are approaching $300 billion, was asked for nearly $6 billion, corresponding to 2 percent of his wealth, to end hunger in the world. He also asked why the United Nations Food Program, whose budget reached $8.4 billion in 2020, could not solve this problem with its own resources.

Seeing this post, Musk immediately replied and made the following statement:

If WFP can explain in the bottom of this Tweet exactly how $6 billion will solve world hunger, I will sell my Tesla shares right now and do as they say. But I have one condition. How and by whom the money is used will be publicly shared!

Seeing Musk getting serious, Beasley blasted CNN. He said the headline of the article misrepresented the topic. He then shared a summary of his statement.

The title is not correct. Unfortunately, 6 billion dollars will not solve world hunger. I have not said this anywhere. But Musk can prevent geopolitical instability and mass migration with the donation I ask him to make. In this way, we can save 42 million people from the brink of starvation. Moreover, this was a one-time offer.

The $8.4 billion budget you mentioned is for food aid to 115 million people. But we need another 6 billion dollars because of Covid, regional conflict and climate shocks.

After these statements, the subject grew and the discussion process started between the parties. Finally, Musk was on the agenda with his sharing. He tagged Beasley, adding to the posts of several different news outlets claiming that the United Nations soldiers responsible for delivering aid sexually abused the people of the region in exchange for food, and said, “What do you call them?” said.

After the discussion, many Twitter users invited the United Nations to make a statement on the subject. What do you think about this subject? Don’t forget to share your views with us in the comments!
