25. Did someone show him?

We should hold him to that. $6 billion can feed a hell of a lot of people and help farmers get fair prices for their crops. This is because food programs and food banks can buy a ridiculous amount of food super cheap directly from farmers and wholesalers.

Musk's net worth is around $292.6 billion so it really wouldn't be much for him to try it and see. He'd make headlines for sure if he's into that.

Some rich people want to be known for philanthropy.
