UN responses to Elon Musk’s challenge to prove how his wealth could tackle world hunger by revealing a $6.6 billion plan

Elon recently dared the UN to show him how $6 billion of his wealth could address world hunger. On Monday, the UN got back to him with a plan.

This hunger crisis is urgent, unprecedented, AND avoidable. @elonmusk, you asked for a clear plan & open books. Here it is! We’re ready to talk with you – and anyone else – who is serious about saving lives. The ask is $6.6B to avert famine in 2022: https://t.co/eJLmfcMVqE
