yeah, guess what, this is not your average home mortgage :D it is more complicated, but short story is yes, musk paid with his own money and money backed by his other property.

and no matter what, it still doesn't explain this nonsense you said:

I think the point is to destroy it so he doesn’t have to pay back what he borrowed to buy it.

not sure where this absurd idea of yours comes from, but it is still nonsense. no matter where he borrowed the money from, he has to return them, even if he drowns the twitter in gasoline and then set it on fire.

On April 20, Musk disclosed that he had secured financing provided by a group of banks led by Morgan Stanley, Bank of America, Barclays, MUFG, Société Générale, Mizuho Bank, and BNP Paribas, for a potential tender offer to acquire the company.[27][28] The funding included $7 billion of senior secured bank loans; $6 billion in subordinated debt; $6.25 billion in bank loans to Musk personally, secured by $62.5 billion of his Tesla stock; $20 billion in cash equity from Musk, to be provided by sales of Tesla stock and other assets; and $7.1 billion in equity from 19 independent investors.[29][30][31]

How many people have issue with smth is not definition of a stretch, is it?

that's quite a stretch

she didn't say "say racist when you want to say brave". how does someone find this funny?

i'll leave this here...

So are native americans finally getting their land back? And will you all clean before you leave? :D

would you like to hear the udp joke? you might not get it, but I don't really care that much

he did. the fact he had to borrow the cash is irrelevant, he now owes someone 44B.

I do think he was essentially forced to buy it.

he was, but it doesn't contradict what i said. if he had a way to back out of his stupid bragging offer for 1b, and all he cared about was money, the reasonable thing would be to pay the fine, instead of paying 44 billion for something that doesn't generate profit.

More to the point though, I do wonder why he didn’t just pay the billion dollars to get out of the deal

I don’t know that he’s not in it for the money.

your first sentence explains he is not in it for money, if money were the concern, eating the 1b fine would be logical thing to do (i am not fact checking that 1b piece of information, i trust you on this).

with his 270 billion net worth - which by the way includes assets not necessarily liquid cash

that's how it works, no one has 270 billion in cash

I think the point is to destroy it so he doesn’t have to pay back what he borrowed to buy it.

that doesn't make sense, destroying twitter doesn't absolve him of obligation to return money he borrowed.

it’s just that he could take big risks

yes, that is definitely part of his success. and since this strategy got him to position of richest person in the world, it is pretty clear that "genius at losing money" is not really accurate description of situation.

as for twitter, he clearly is not in it for the money, otherwise he wouldn't be there to begin with. he originally hoped to buy position of cheered and admired hero and when he failed, he settled for a position of hated douchebag. infamous still means people know you, i guess 🤷‍♂️

that's why he is the richest person in the world with 270B net worth.

look, i hate the asshole as much as the other guy, but changing meaning of words and underestimating the enemy never helped anyone.

Firefox has container tabs for this exact sort of things, whatever is inside is hermetically separated and cannot leak into other tabs, but It is desktop feature.

That's not what they said.

"Embodies every negative attribute" is not the same as "every attribute embodied by him is negative".

a useful idiot

Useful idiot has specific meaning. It is someone who is so dumb that you can convince him to betray his country for free and he does believe he is doing right thing.

I am pretty sure this piece of shit is getting paid.

Short of walking up to strangers and asking, “hey, can I compare your feed to mine?"

You can create your own alternative accounts....

you must have really generously designed roads wherever you are 😂

and where do the bikes stop if there is not enough space?

you might be thinking about airplanes.

So, dream on, your car-centric “utopia” doesn’t exist.

oh the car-centric dystopia definitely exists, unlike your cargo-bike one.

you see, there is not necessarily cult on the other side that fights with your cult just because you have another flag. maybe the other side commented on your thoughts because they see a problem in them and that is how you can improve. you will see that, when you get out of your basement one day.
