Didn't he buy twitter with a loan backed by his Tesla stock?

If that's the case and the price is falling enough then the bank could/have called that in. Resulting in the forced sale of his stock.

Which would be very funny.

If self-preservation is an instinct these banks possess, they should all be calling in Musks loans right now.

The banks bankrolled twitter to create a controlled propaganda outlet and enabled their boy to directly influence the federal government. I think their investment turn out very well for them.
