    Definitely not. Here’s the breakdown of the $44mil purchase:

    • $5 mil from other investors, including a Saudi prince
    • $26 mil from Elon, underwritten by stocks in Tesla (which significantly dropped in value after the purchase)
    • $13 mil in a loan that Twitter took out to buy itself on Musk’s behalf.

    Twitter could hardly pay the interest on that $13 mil, even before Musk tanked the company’s revenue. Either Twitter steps into line and gets more investment from right wing control freaks, or it dies - both could be seen as a win in the eyes of Peter Thiel or the Saudis.
