Elon Musk, the world’s richest man whose net worth is close to $300 billion, said Sunday that he would cut a check to help end world hunger.
Musk, however, placed a stipulation on his offer that will probably not be well received by the organization that called him out. What is the background?
Last week, David Beasley, the director of the United Nations’ World Food Programme, told CNN that a $6 billion donation from the world’s top billionaires — like Musk or Amazon founder Jeff Bezos — could immediately save 42 million people from starvation.
“The governments are tapped out. This is why and this is when the billionaires need to step up now on a one-time basis: Six billion dollars to help 42 million people that are literally going to die if we don’t reach them,” Beasley said. “It’s not complicated. I’m not asking them to do this every day, every week, every year,” Beasley continued. “Just help me with them, one time. That’s a $6 billion price tag.”
Beasley noted that Bezos and Musk made far more than $6 billion since the pandemic began last year and said Musk’s net worth recently increased by $6 billion in a single day.
“The top 400 billionaires in the United States, the net worth increase was $1.8 trillion in the past year,” Beasley said. “All I’m asking for is .36% of your net worth increase. I’m for people making money, but God knows I’m all for you helping people who are in great need right now. The world is in trouble.”
“Wake up, smell the coffee, and help!” Beasley pleaded. What did Musk say?

In response, Musk said he would liquidate $6 billion worth of Tesla stock to finance Beasley’s request. However, Musk added that the U.N. would need to prove that every penny donated went toward feeding people.
“If WFP can describe on this Twitter thread exactly how $6B will solve world hunger, I will sell Tesla stock right now and do it,” Musk said. “But it must be open source accounting, so the public sees precisely how the money is spent.”In response, Beasley said […]

Will America-First News Outlets Make it to 2023?
Things are looking grim for conservative and populist news sites.
There’s something happening behind the scenes at several popular conservative news outlets. 2021 was bad, but 2022 is proving to be disastrous for news sites that aren’t “playing ball” with the corporate media narrative. It’s being said that advertisers are cracking down, forcing some of the biggest ad networks like Google and Yahoo to pull their inventory from conservative outlets. This has had two major effects. First, it has cooled most conservative outlets from discussing “taboo” topics like Pandemic Panic Theater, voter fraud, or The Great Reset. Second, it has isolated those ad networks that aren’t playing ball.
Certain topics are anathema for most ad networks. Speaking out against vaccines or vaccine mandates is a certain path to being demonetized. Highlighting voter fraud in the 2020 and future elections is another instant advertising death penalty. Throw in truthful stories about climate change hysteria, Critical Race Theory, and the border crisis and it’s easy to understand how difficult it is for America-First news outlets to spread the facts, share conservative opinions, and still pay the bills.
Without naming names, I have been told of several news outlets who have been forced to either consolidate with larger organizations or who have backed down on covering certain topics out of fear of being “canceled” by the ad networks. I get it. This is a business for many of us and it’s not very profitable. Those of us who do this for a living are often barely squeaking by, so loss of additional revenue can often mean being forced to make cuts. That means not being able to cover the topics properly. Its a Catch-22: Tell the truth and lose the money necessary to keep telling the truth, or avoid the truth and make enough money to survive. Those who have chosen survival simply aren’t able to spread the truth properly.
We will never avoid the truth. The Lord will provide if it is His will. Our job is simply to share the facts, spread the Gospel, and educate as many Americans as possible while exposing the forces of evil.
To those who have the means, we ask that you please donate. We have options available now, but there is no telling when those options will cancel us. We have our GivingFuel page. There have been many who have been canceled by PayPal, but for now it’s still an option. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to get the truth to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
Thank you, and God Bless!
