The trillionaire made the remarks during an online discussion about whether he should donate more money to help fight hunger on the continent.
The debate emerged as Elon Musk continues to expand his wealth, with many social media users suggesting that his fortune could be used to address major global challenges, including food insecurity in Africa.
Reacting to the conversation on X, formerly known as Twitter, Musk argued that the idea that Africans are starving is inaccurate, stressing that food shortages usually occur only in areas affected by conflict or war.
He wrote: “People in Africa are not starving. This is a myth. The only time there is a shortage of food is when there is a war going on and the only way to solve that would be invasion!”
His comments have since sparked discussions online, with supporters and critics sharing different views on hunger, poverty and humanitarian challenges across Africa.
KanyiDaily recalls that Elon Musk recently became the first person ever to reach a net worth of over $1 trillion.
