Musk told the UN he'd give $6 billion to end world hunger if they produced a detailed plan. They did

Musk told the United Nations he would give them $6 billion to end world hunger if they showed him a detailed plan of how they would use the money. They called his bluff and gave him their plan— and then they never got the money. Now he’s buying Twitter for $45 billion.

Here is the executive summary of the UN’s plan for how they would spend the money, titled "WFP's plan to support 42 million people on the brink of famine": https://www.wfp.org/stories/wfps-plan-support-42-million-people-brink-famine

Musk publicly ghosted them after this was provided. Months later, they told Forbes they never received the money.

1. Anyone still think twitter is a good place?? Pretty much says it all

[canetoad]

2. In a just world

Someone of his character would not accumulate so much money.

7. Thats why we need a wealth cap.

Capitalism rewards the worst people among us. Capitalism is a failure.

[paleotn]

17. It's no more a failure than fire....

but like fire, it must be tightly controlled or it will burn all our collective houses down. I agree with a wealth cap. We use the have the semblance of one before the '86 "tax reform act".

[Rebl2]

20. True

but it is no longer a just world

3. Lying POS. musk

5. And there are people who worship that piece of shit

[bronxiteforever]

9. +1 disgusting isn't it!

[paleotn]

16. Just like those who worship Trump...

I don't get it. What the hell is the attraction to some narcissist who had millions dropped in his lap from childhood.

6. Plan is insufficient. Nowhere does it say "All will bow before Musk".

If they'd slap his name on it and give him some awards, he may have gone for it.

8. Elon Musk donated around $5.74 billion to charity in November, just weeks after UN.

"Elon Musk donated around $5.74 billion to charity in November, just weeks after tweeting that if the UN World Food Program showed him how $6 billion would solve world hunger, he would “sell Tesla stock right now and do it.”

""It’s unclear, however, where Musk will be donating that $5.74 billion. Musk sold 5,044,000 Tesla shares worth that amount and gave the money to charity between Nov. 19 and Nov. 29, according to an SEC filing. The recipient is anonymous.

""This massive donation to an undisclosed charity came just weeks after executive director of the World Food Program David Beasley told CNN on Oct. 26 that the world’s elite needed to “step up” to end global food insecurity, specifically citing Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos. Beasley said that “$6 billion [would] help 42 million people that are literally going to die if we don’t reach them. It’s not complicated.”"

Yeah, it's unclear where his donations are going, so you folks can bash him for that.

[markie]

10. "unclear...where Musk will be donating $5.74B"

time to end tax write off for "charity"


https://inequality.org/action/charity-reform-initiative/

[Hoyt]

11. Yeah, you push for limiting charities ability to attract donations.

[paleotn]

15. Probably a Trump like scheme. I'll believe it when it's documented.

[JI7]

18. Is there any good or understandable reason for the charity to not be named ?

[BadgerMom]

12. I've already deactivated my Twitter account.

If the deal falls through, I can reactivate or begin anew. I don’t want to be on there if it becomes the 2016 version of itself again.

[BlueIdaho]

13. I dropped Twitter a little over 4 years ago

Haven’t missed it one little bit.

[Javaman]

22. I only had mine for a month, saw he was going to buy it

So I dumped it. It was kind of useless anyway

[paleotn]

14. The man-baby strikes again.

How long will it be before he's found naked and deceased, locked in a hotel suite with hair down to his knees, i.e. Howard Hughes? Not soon enough.

[AllaN01Bear]

19. most of them dont give a hoot hoot hoot about the poor,

[Javaman]

21. He's a vindictive sociopath

He’s only buy Twitter thinking that will quiet his critics. He will kill Twitter and something else will take its place. For such a rich prick he has very thin skin

[rockfordfile]

23. That's from the same un-American fascist pos that is a trump supporter

Tesla $137 million settlement to black employee over racism. That's same un-American pos that owns twitter. There are people on here showing their true colors with support of un-American Musk.

26. What a Trumpian move! nttttt

[rockfordfile]

27. I've called out people on here that's full of shit with supporting Musk

It was so easy to see it coming. Either these people have stock, maybe they're just weak or just idiots.

One of the excuses so far is something like "I'm staying to fight" No you're not, this has zero to do with any fight. You quit only to give in to un-American pos Musk. It's Musk that owns and profits from you. You've decided against choice.

By staying on Twitter after Musk buys it you are on his side not ours. Not USA Not Democracy . You're on the side with the un-American fascist. A pos with a racist company that settled in the millions.
