Definitely not. Musk did not ask for anything outrageous in return for the money. It was a PR disaster from the UN's point of view. Perhaps their perception of the risk of calling Elon Musk out like that was broken?
- ben_w 4y agoWhile I was less than impressed by what I saw, I think calling it “a PR disaster” overstates the impact. I observed people reading into both parties what I already know they wanted to believe about each of Musk and the UN.

At best, we can solve some urgent crisis, but an actual long-term solution requires more than billionaires flinging money at the problem. Beasley knew this when he opened his mouth.
