Firstly, Musks stake probably isn’t big enough for it to materially solve any of his money problems. It’s not even clear he owns any stake- he was a donor at the non profit stage and stepped away in 2019. Secondly, SpaceX is raising funds at a $137Bn valuation and Musk owns a hell of a lot more than that- if he needs cash, that would be a very easy way to get it. Finally, even if Musk was desperate to cash out, that would not explain why the Microsoft deal is buying up so much - they’re clearly doing a deal far bigger than Musks stake. Finally- plenty of people would be desperate to get into OpenAI at this point so if Musk wanted out there are plenty of other ways.
