Elon Musk says he’ll sell Tesla stock to help raise $6 billion the UN says it needs to solve world hunger, if they can prove how the money will be spent.
Director of the UN’s World Food Programme (WFP), David Beasley, has called upon the help of billionaires to solve the world hunger crisis.
Beasley said 42 million people could be aided by a $6 billion donation; people who are ‘literally going to die if we don’t reach them’.
Musk, who is currently the world’s richest man, has since spoken out and said he will help. However, it’s on the condition that the UN publicly show how the money will be spent.

The world needs to wake up. We’ve got a global humanitarian crisis on our hands that is spiraling out of control. 42M people in 43 countries face famine NOW.

All we need is $6.6B—just .36% of the top 400 US billionaires' net worth increase last year. Is that too much to ask?? pic.twitter.com/YMD7zuPwsf
But it must be open source accounting, so the public sees precisely how the money is spent.

I can assure you that we have the systems in place for transparency and open source accounting. Your team can review and work with us to be totally confident of such.
