Bilionea Elon Musk amewataka wanaoshughulika na Mradi wa Chakula Duniani (WFP) kuonesha namna dola Bilioni 6 itakavyoondoa tatizo la njaa duniani.
Mkurugenzi wa WFP, David Beasley aliomba fedha hiyo kutoka kwa matajiri hao akisema itatosha kuondoa tatizo la njaa duniani.
Musk ana utajiri wa Dola bilioni 311, ameahidi kutoa hela hiyo ikiwa mpango utakuwa wazi wa namna zitakavyotumika.

Elon Musk, the world’s richest man, challenged a United Nations official’s claim that just a small percentage of his wealth could help solve world hunger.
Musk was responding to comments by David Beasley, director of the UN’s World Food Programme, who repeated a call last week following an earlier tweet this month asking billionaires like Musk to “step up now, on a one-time basis.”
Beasley specifically called for action from Musk and Amazon.com Inc. co-founder Jeff Bezos, the two men atop the Bloomberg Billionaires Index. Just $6 billion could keep 42 million people from dying, Beasley said.
If the World Food Programme, using transparent and open accounting, “can describe on this Twitter thread exactly how $6B will solve world hunger, I will sell Tesla stock right now and do it,” Musk wrote in a Twitter post.
Musk is CEO of the electric-vehicle company, which last week joined the handful of companies valued at more than $1 trillion.
The $6 billion amount would be just a small fraction of Musk’s current net worth of $311 billion -- and less than the $9.3 billion his wealth increased on Oct. 29 alone, according to the billionaires index
