American Billionaire Elon Musk in his bid to contribute his quota to humanity in the world’s fight against the global coronavirus pandemic, took to his Twitter page to announce that he and his firm Tesla would be giving hospitals and countries around the world ventilators for free.
See Elon Musk’s tweet;
We have extra FDA-approved ventilators. Will ship to hospitals worldwide within Tesla delivery regions. Device & shipping cost are free. Only requirement is that the vents are needed immediately for patients, not stored in a warehouse. Please me or @Tesla know.

 The Nigerian Ministry of Finance, Budgeting and national planning took to the billionaire’s page to ask for him and his firm to please assist the Federal Government of Nigeria with ventilators of up to a 100-500 in the country’s fight against COVID-19.
This has sparked outrage on social media with Nigerians asking why is the Ministry still requesting for help with the astronomical amount of money the country had received in donations, grants and support from Billionaires and corporate organisations in the Country and also outside the country.
Nigeria currently has 174 cases of the deadly coronavirus, according to the NCDC reports. The global toll of the virus currently at over 489,000. Photo Credit: Getty
