Tesla founder and CEO Elon Musk says he is willing to donate $6 billion to end world hunger.
He made the offer in response to a claim by David Beasley, the director of the United Nations' World Food Programme.
Beasley called on billionaires across the globe to donate saying $6 billion would help 42-million people around the world suffering from famine.
But in a series of tweets, Musk said Beasley must prove and detail how the money would be spent to solve the problem.
Beasley later said $6 billion would actually not end world hunger, but would “prevent geopolitical instability, mass migration and save 42-million people on the brink of starvation."
Beasley also invited Musk to sit down with him to look at the numbers and work out a plan to solve the famine crisis.
As of Monday, Musk has a net worth of $311 billion, making him the richest man in the world.
