FUERSTENWALDE, GERMANY - SEPTEMBER 03: Tesla head Elon Musk arrives to have a look at the construction site of the new Tesla Gigafactory near Berlin on September 03, 2020 near Gruenheide, Germany. Musk is currently in Germany where he met with vaccine maker CureVac on Tuesday, with which Tesla has a cooperation to build devices for producing RNA vaccines, as well as German Economy Minister Peter Altmaier yesterday.

Elon Musk questioned a report and called out the United Nation's World Food Programme branch regarding their statement, saying that two percent of the Tesla CEO's money can help solve the problem. He asked for the concerned people to provide him an explanation and break it down for him via Twitter regarding the data and information.

Musk said he is willing to sell his stocks in Tesla to help in this cause.

This is where David Beasley, the UN WFP Director came in and said that $6 billion alone cannot solve world hunger and can only answer geopolitical instability that would help the 42 million on the brink of starvation. Beasley also said that Musk and the UN should have a meeting regarding this issue and talk about the possible things that he can do to help this matter.

Musk's Challenge


Now, the billionaire has challenged Beasley and the United Nations to publish their reports regarding how money was spent, especially as they have already gotten funds as much as $8 billion for world hunger. Musk said that sunlight is a "wonderful thing," referring to shedding light on these issues.
