I am 100% sure that if the stock market rallies back to March levels all this nonsense would disappear and Musk simply buys Twitter for the agreed upon price of 54$ Musk is the perfect CEO for our era, this guy doesn't brush his teeth unless the stock market gives him a solid round of applause accompanied by a 10$ rally in TSLA stock price. Behind all the boldness and bravado there is a constant need to re-assured that his decision is the best decision. Warren Buffett on the other hand salivates every time the stock market goes down, rooting for it to go down at times so he can buy shares in the companies he believes in.

Or maybe Musk took the billions set aside for funding to short the stock to get the rest of the funding. We don't know what's going on behind closed doors. I would assume he knows more about investing than you are giving him credit for.

        Ah, thanks. I wonder what degree he believes that SpaceX is in trouble vs. just not thinking people should take holidays off.
