His ego has gotten him in a big mess. I doubt that he will be forced to go thru with it but he's going to have to pay big. He can take the hit but his reputation will be mud for years to come. He'll be known as the guy that backed out of purchasing Twitter for life. But worse than that he'll be known as they guy you can't trust. All because he couldn't control his inflated ego.
Honestly seems like he used the twitter deal to liquidate 8 billion of tesla stock without causing the price to collapse too much. One of the only things that'll change people's minds is if he repurchases some tesla stock
The amount of envy people here have for Elon is crazy. The man is succeeding at making us a multi-planetary species, arguably the single most important achievement in the history of life itself, and your little damaged egos can't handle it. So sad.
