Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla Inc., posted a tweet in Chinese on Twitter on November 1st. The content was “Seven-Step Poem” by Cao Zhi, a writer from the Three Kingdoms period in China.
Musk first wrote the word “Humankind” in English, and then “Seven Step Poems” in Chinese: “Cooking beans burns bean stalks, and beans cry in the cauldron. They are born from the same root, so why not fry them in a hurry. “
Musk’s tweet aroused heated discussion among netizens, and everyone speculated about its meaning. Some netizens thought it might be related to Musk’s “forced donation” by the United Nations. Two lines after the poem “The earth can’t tolerate it, I can’t walk”.
Humankind
Boiled beans

Why are you so anxious?— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) November 2, 2021
David Beasley, executive director of the World Food Programme of the United Nations, told CNN that a small group of super-rich people can use a small part of their net worth to help solve the problem of world hunger. “Help 42 million people. If we don’t help them, they will really die.” The show aired on October 26.
He specifically mentioned Musk and Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos, the two richest people in the world.
On October 31, Musk tweeted that he was willing to consider the proposal of a UN official. The official said that $6 billion in donations from one of the richest people in the world could help stop world hunger.
In response to a Twitter user claiming that US$6 billion is equivalent to only 2% of his net worth, Musk replied that if the World Food Program can “accurately” describe how this donation will solve the world’s hunger problem, he will “sell immediately Tesla stock and put it into action.”
After Musk publicly responded on Twitter, Beasley also personally sent a reply, saying that the title of CNN’s article was inaccurate, saying that $6 billion could not solve the problem, but Musk’s help could bring hope. CNN immediately changed the title of the relevant report, changing “can be resolved” to “can help.”
According to Bloomberg News, the recent rise in Tesla’s stock price has brought the wealth of co-founder Musk to a new milestone: now his wealth has surpassed that of the famous investor Warren Buffett (Warren Buffett) by three times.
On November 1, as Tesla’s stock price rose 8.5% in New York, Musk’s net assets increased by $24 billion to $335.1 billion.
According to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, this enabled Musk to surpass Amazon’s Bezos to become the world’s richest man with a net worth of US$143 billion.
Buffett, chairman of Berkshire Hathaway, ranks tenth with a net worth of $104.1 billion.
