    That’s true, but casually joking about buying companies when you basically did that (albeit with enough details to not be taken as a joke) is so monumentally dumb. Even for musk. Dude really has not learned to shutup yet.

          It was an inconvenience to be sure, he has a metric f*** ton of money but it’s not liquid assets. He got a lot of people to come in and fund it and then took loans against a small amount of his Tesla stock.

          Realistically though it didn’t put him in any serious trouble, any ended up with a propaganda media company.
