lol sure he will. He won’t even pay rent.
Remember that time he offered to solve world hunger but then didn't because "nah" basically?
They didn’t come up with a plan and when he asked they were like 🤷♂️
no, lol, Elon just sucks.
Aid spokesman engaged hyperbole drive and tweeted "if a billionaire like @musk gave us $40bn we could solve world hunger"
Musk replied "ok i'm listening, show me how you can solve it, if it sounds real I'll write the cheque"
Aid spokesman (back pedalling) "well not solve as such, but definitely make better"
Musk "whatevs then"
I mean he does say so much actual stupid shit, why do you guys keep making shit up ?
Edit to add not verbatim I can't be arsed to go find the tweets now he's fucked twitter
Yeah, why would anyone just go and say shit on the internet as if there aren't receipts?
bro linked a cnn article
Cool. Good article - which shows exactly what I said.
Solve is not the same as reduce/improve/alleviate.
As Musk knew full well when he tweeted it. No one has a solution for it, the best you can do is alleviate it for a bit.
Is he being a pedantic dick ? Yes. Did the original tweeter provide a plan to solve world hunger. No.
He provided a plan to reduce world hunger for a time. It's not a solution, it's a reduction in misery which I'd be very happy if Musk paid for. But it's not making world hunger entirely go away even short term let alone long term.
No, but we can trust him this time. All those other lies were completely unrelated. /s
It's possible. He literally burnt an extra 150 million dollars by bumping his offer for twitter to 54.20 just to make it a stupid 420 meme. It's not like he doesn't have the money to pay those bills.
I’m not saying he doesn’t have the money - I was mostly commenting on his outright refusal to pay other bills.
