Didn’t he very publicly offer to fund fixing world hunger then ignored it when an NGO came up with an actual plan?

I assume you are referring to this: https://truthout.org/articles/musk-pledged-6b-to-solve-world...

He called them on some ridiculous claim that $10 billion could end world hunger. He said that if they could show him how, he'd donate the money.

Spoiler alert, they could not show him how.

back in reality, no, they said "address world hunger", not "solve". I know we are in a post-truth phase of the decline, but please, try do do your part.

Actually, they did use the word "solve", they just added "help" first. https://edition.cnn.com/2021/10/26/economy/musk-world-hunger...

Check the errata at the bottom.
