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

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

      Twitter could hardly pay the interest on that $13 bn, 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.
