Musk said in a reply to a screenshot of the aforementioned article, shared by Dr Eli David, ¡°If WFP can describe on this Twitter thread exactly how $6B will solve world hunger, I will sell Tesla stock right now and do it.¡±

But it must be open source accounting, so the public sees precisely how the money is spent.

He added, ¡°But it must be open source accounting, so the public sees precisely how the money is spent.¡±

However, soon after, Beasley, responded to Musk¡¯s tweet, stating that the article¡¯s headline is inaccurate, stating, ¡° @elonmusk! Headline not accurate. $6B will not solve world hunger, but it WILL prevent geopolitical instability, mass migration and save 42 million people on the brink of starvation. An unprecedented crisis and a perfect storm due to Covid/conflict/climate crises.¡±

Beasley added, ¡°.@elonmusk With your help we can bring hope, build stability and change the future. Let¡¯s talk: It isn¡¯t as complicated as Falcon Heavy, but too much at stake to not at least have a conversation. I can be on the next flight to you. Throw me out if you don¡¯t like what you hear!¡±

Talking about transparency in accounting, Beasley stated, ¡°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.¡±

Please publish your current & proposed spending in detail so people can see exactly where money goes.
