22 billion is half of what Elon paid for Twitter. He paid 44 billion.

So this seems like a pretty good bargain for unlocking the secrets of the universe.

if i remember correctly twitter was evaluated as 20 billion before musk bought it, so he overpaid by 24 billion dollars which is a couple billion dollars more than the price tag quoted here.

To be fair I think he only paid $14 billion. The rest came from other investors like Saudia Arabia
