Billionaires like Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk need to step up, says WFP chief

Billionaires need to step up on a one-time basis, said the director of the United Nations’ World Food Programme David Beasley in an interview with Becky Anderson on CNN’s Connect the World on Tuesday.

Beasley pointed at the small group of ultra-wealthy individuals, specifically naming the two richest men in the world — Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk — saying they could help solve world hunger with just a fraction of their net worth.
