> I think he'll make it.

On what basis?

Elon needs cash flow to pay the loans he took to buy Twitter.

Banks don’t give a shit about politics, or mission, or popularity. Banks care about cash flow.

Fact: advertisers (read: cash flow) are leaving Twitter. How will Elon pay off his loans?

It seems that he has about $200 Billion left, so I wouldn't worry too much about loans.

So you are suggesting He'll pay from his personal coffers? by selling tesla stock? thats not bad at all.

What else to spend money on, than to ... influence Western culture and thought? If you only have a few billion you can buy a sports team, but if you have a few hundred, and still your youthful energy, what else could you do?
