News Comment #8

The article “Elon Musk offers to sell Tesla stock ‘right now’ if UN can show how $6 billion would solve world hunger” written by Wale Azeez and published by CNN, tackles the latest statement that billionaire Elon Musk made on his twitter account.

The statement was a response to UN director David Beasly, who challenged the world’s richest to “step up now”.

It seems as if anything Elon Musk says is relevant enough that it is news worthy. The article also ultimately came out after the statement, which makes it very updated. Other than that, the topic of world hunger is also news relevant because it affects a great number of people around the world. The article states that 6 billion (which is only 2% of Musk’s net worth) could save 42 million people from starving to death. This is said, depsite it being Musk, the topic itself is very newsworthy and relevant.

The article also lets the reader wonder what is going to happen next. It displays the discussion between Musk and the UN. The result of their communication insists that nothing would stand in the way of doing what Musk has stated. Therefore, one can expect that it will happen, if Musk sticks to his words and does not back out.

  1. It is interesting to read the back and forth between Musk and Beasley.
    Chances are nothing will happen, but at least Musk noticed. He has
    to realize $6 billion could do a lot of good in the world if it was invested
    correctly.
