Musk responded to comments by David Beasley, director of the UN World Food Programme, who reiterated the appeal to the world's richest people to use some of their wealth and come to the aid once.
Beasley mentioned Musk and Jeff Bezo, the founder of the Amazon, two men with the deepest pockets in the world.
Only six billion can prevent 42 million people from dying of hunger”, Beasley said.
The number mentioned came from Eliah David, a leading expert on artificial intelligence, that two percent of Musk's wealth is six billion dollars and that the UN Food Programme raised $8.4 billion last year.

On the other hand, Musk's response to Twitter has arrived.
If the World Food Programme can explain exactly how exactly six billion dollars will solve the world's hunger problem, I will immediately sell my shares in Tesla”, Musk said.
According to Bloomberg, Tesla's director's wealth is more than $310 billion. Only on October 29th, Musk increased his fortune by 9.3 billion due to the increase in stock value.
