Elon Musk, the world’s wealthiest man, has fired back at a United Nations official’s claim that a one-time donation of about $6 billion will help solve world hunger, saying that he’d pony up the cash if the UN publishes their precise spending plan.

The Tesla CEO reacted to comments from David Beasley, the director of the UN’s World Food Programme, who told CNN that a donation of just 2 percent of Musk’s wealth — which stands at a whopping $311 billion — would help solve world hunger and save 42 million lives.

“$6 billion to help 42 million people that are literally going to die if we don’t reach them. It’s not complicated,” Beasley said, specifically calling on the world’s two richest men, Musk and Amazon founder Jeff Bezos.

$6 billion for 42 million people amounts to $142 per person.

And that is going to solve world hunger?

Bullshit.

Good on Musk for call this a-hole out on his political propaganda.

Just give billions of dollars to corrupt functionaries with no strings attached. What could go wrong?
