Augmenting his efforts to make Earth a greener plant and transport people to Mars, Tesla, Inc. (NASDAQ:TSLA) chief executive officer Elon Musk seems to have a new agenda item on his mind. He's indicating a desire to eradicate poverty from the face of the earth.
What Happened: Providing internet connection to people would lift people out of poverty, Musk said in a tweet late Friday. "Providing Internet is teaching people to fish," he said. Musk made this point while noting that his SpaceX-owned Starlink's one dish can provide internet for an entire school of hundreds of students.
