Remember when Elon said he'd gladly solve world hunger if someone gave him a plan to do so?

and then someone did, and he didn't

Did this actually happen? Do you have a source? Genuinely curious.

there's plenty of news sources covering the streams of promises he's made, and none that report on the delivery (because he didn't do it and never will)
