Just 2% Of Elon Musk’s Fortune Could Solve World Hunger!
Elon Musk has a hefty bank account and according to the United Nations, just 2% of his mega fortune can solve world hunger!
Billionaires need to “step up now, on a one-time basis”, said David Beasley who is the director of the United Nations’ World Food Program to CNN. Beasley isn’t just focusing on Musk, but Jeff Bezos and others in the same tax bracket.
“$6 billion to help 42 million people that are literally going to die if we don’t reach them. It’s not complicated,” he said.

Musk has a net worth of almost $289 billion, and just 2% of his fortune will cover world hunger.
“For example, take the United States and the region in Central America, the Dry Corridor, Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador and Nicaragua — just down in that area alone,” said Beasley on Tuesday. “We’re feeding a lot of people down there and the climate is just changing with hurricanes and flash flooding; it’s just devastating.”
