$6 Billion Won’t Solve World Hunger, But It Could Save 42 Million Lives.

 Elon Musk Pledges $6B on One Condition — The Facts Behind the Claim.

Here is a clear, polished rewrite of your article:

A Twitter exchange between a United Nations official and one of the world’s richest individuals, Elon Musk, has drawn global attention to the severe hunger crisis affecting millions amid COVID-19, climate change, and ongoing conflicts.

The discussion has also highlighted how the world’s billionaires could make a meaningful impact on global challenges by contributing even a small portion of their wealth.

The conversation began when David Beasley, Executive Director of the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP), spoke to CNN in an article published under the headline: “2% of Elon Musk’s wealth could help solve world hunger.”

In the interview, Beasley stated, “$6 billion to help 42 million people that are literally going to die if we don’t reach them. It’s not complicated.” He specifically called on Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos for support. According to Bloomberg’s Billionaires Index, Musk’s net worth stands at $326 billion, meaning the requested amount represents less than 2% of his fortune.

Musk responded on Twitter, saying that if Beasley could demonstrate on the platform that $6 billion would solve world hunger, he would “sell Tesla stock right now and do it.”

Beasley later clarified that the phrase “solve world hunger” was not entirely accurate. Instead, he emphasized that $6 billion would help prevent geopolitical instability and mass migration, while saving 42 million people who are on the brink of starvation.
