That's a blunder on the headline of the article, sure, but is the suggestion here that Elon whipped out that offer to liquidate $6B without reading the article itself or watching the interview on the topic? Direct quote from the interview where the UN rep was talking about it, which was also included in the original article:
"$6 billion to help 42 million people that are literally going to die if we don't reach them. It's not complicated"

Well, he certainly whipped it out to rhetorically appeal to people who hadn't read the article or watched the interview, whether or not he personally read/watched them.

Precisely. This is Musk front-loading technicalities into his blustery non-offer.
