First he’s not overleveraged from buying Twitter. He bought it with Russian, Saudi, and 400 other investor’s money. There was aist recently published.
Second, he doesn’t need to put any personal money to pay Twitter’s fines, Twitter has its own money/debts and accounting.
Third, even if it was his own money, he would sell stock, he could borrow against it, avoiding selling it.
Fourth, even if all of the above was true (which it isn’t) for a hundred-billionaire, losing tens of millions doesn’t register. It’s like someone with a couple million bucks in the bank losing a few hundred. It’s like a nice dinner.
Then WHY fight something that would’ve been pennies and now will at least be dimes? As much as I want to believe musk is close to insolvency, I don’t think its quite possible yet. But then why die on these stupid little hills?
This is mostly incorrect.
