Musk leveraged TSLA stock to buy Twitter.


Elon sold 19B in stock, took a loan for 6.25B, and the rest was other investors.

The 6.25B loan, assuming he still has it, is really not an issue considering his net worth. He can add more collateral or sell a bit. In fact TSLA stock is higher now than when he bought Twitter.


"Net Worth" can be misleading.

Wikipedia say Musk has repeatedly described himself as "cash poor" -- most of his worth are not in cash.

How much of his net worth are in $TSLA?
