He's paid an obscene $44bn for Twitter, which means he's probably overpaid $43.9bn for it, then basically turned it into an extreme right septic tank, driving its value lower than that of a second-hand Cybertruck.

I don't think throwing a few more billions into that dumpster fire will make any difference to him.

not even his own money, he borrowed most of it

I still don't understand leveraged buyouts. The debt isn't even in his name. It's Twitter's debt.

Nah, it's gonna piss him off.

Let's keep fining him a few billion at a time.

While it would make me happy to have the douche dinged for a couple billion, what I really expect to happen is endless appeals and...eventually nothing

That's what he thought about the Twitter buy-out, but here we are.
