He will not have to worry about providing a dime.
All UN money goes one place: the pockets of 3rd world despots and their lackeys.

The UN is only interested in the “give-a-fish” programs, where Elon should favor the “learn-to-fish” solutions to problems.

Well a lot of it has to go to liberal organizations, once the politicians get their share. And then those organizations will locate the proper liberal charities so that they can begin the work of locating the actual recipients. Once they are, work can begin deciding which foods meet the health guidelines set by other liberal organizations. All this will cost a lot of money, of course.

To which Musk replied: “Please publish your current & proposed spending in detail so people can see exactly where money goes. Sunlight is a wonderful thing.”

That is a BIG “if”.
Usually in the dictatorship countries, the despot redirects the supplies to himself and his henchmen and very little actually get to the starving citizens.
The UN is unwilling and unable to stop this.

I’m not so sure about that. I suspect some goes there but most goes to pols in 1st world countries.

That Musk is one smart cat. He should get some kind of Trump Prize for this move.
He simultaneously went on record saying:
1) That he will kick in meaningful dollars to fix the hunger
2) Pointed out that there is ZERO transparency in how the UN and most other “charities” operate
But he conditions his support ....

I think it was a mistake on Elon’s part to even respond to this nutjob.

That’s right. You said it before I said it.
It’s never been a secret if one really wishes to know.

The way to “Fight world hunger” is to get the non-productive people to stop having babies.

Beasley said the organization has systems in place for transparency and open source accounting. “Your team can review and work with us to be totally confident of such,” he replied. So how come most of the money going to the UN ends up in the pockets of corrupt bureaucrats from first and third world countries?

Usually never gets past the govt bigs.
