But it must be open source accounting, so the public sees precisely how the money is spent.

never happen.

Elon set him up.
There is no way the UN opens their books to independent auditors like Musk.
The main reason Beasely made that statement was to hoover in hundreds of billions from top billionaires so these snakes can stealing.

Elon Musk is from South Africa, so you can imagine he knows quite a bit about corruption. After all, he left there because it would have been impossible for him to do there what he does here.

it’s his money to do whatever he wants with....

but if he’s inclined to donate....why not here in the US?

this is a wild-a$$ guess on my part, but what would it cost to finance every Food Bank/Cupboard in the US for a year?

... less than half a billion???

A guy like Musk should just start his own charitable foundation.
Maybe he already has one.

Let's assume for the moment that a lot of the money doesn't line the pockets of UN bureaucrats. Even when the money is turned into actual supplies and food, once it hits the ground, it is gathered, taken and rounded up by those with guns...warlords and such...who terrorize the people for whom the food is intended.

It happens again and again. A very old story.

Now the leftists still upset about non-union labor, factory floor racism allegations, and "take the red pill" don't know what the hell to do, other than, shut their mouths. Which they won't do. No extra charge (heh) for the SJW freak show. Thanks Oldeconomybuyer. BTW, the Maalox roller coaster (TSLA stock) is above 1176 right now, a near-400 a share increase in four weeks.

Don’t forget the international bankers who are very skilled and indispensable at giving haircuts while moving money around.

For someone that has $151 Billion, and moved some of his operations from CA to TX, he’s not very bright, eh?

He’s bright about paying himself first. No mention of the carbon footprint of ONE of his rockets.

Hey, it takes a lot of money to keep a residence on the upper east side of Manhattan and in some other capital city.
Park Ave townhouses are very expensive.

What fraction of the money even leaves lower Manhattan. What fraction does not go to Lichtenstein, Switzerland, the Channel Islands or the Cayman Islands?
