#4I guess HN was wrong (top comments) that Musk couldn't possibly have a way to finance his deal. And here we are.

Really hard to imagine the richest and most accomplished dude on the planet not being able to secure funding. Somehow people still think he’s just a showman. At some point in time, accomplishments can’t be explained away

It’s largely cope. Love him or hate him, insanely talented, hard-working, and intelligent.
Calling him a showman and conman is great way to posture superiority over the guy shooting rockets into space and hiring 100k+ people

To be fair - it’s more about twitter than musk. Twitter just isn’t the best social media platform out there in terms of financial performance, and they also don’t have the ability to take too much debt, making the financing even more challenging bc it can be a pretty risky asset. Still tho, the financing is complex. It will be interesting if Musk (read: Morgan Stanley) can actually pull it off.

He’s not just a showman, but he is a showman. And it’s not like you have to dig back into ancient history to find instances where he invented a bid like this, he basically made up a bid for Tesla a few years ago and lied about having secured financing.

I don't know of people saying that he had "no possible way" to finance a deal.
Quoting the excellent Matt Levine, the situation is more like the following: '''the answer to the question “might Elon Musk have made an offer to take a large public company private, at a cost of tens of billions of dollars, without giving any real thought to where the money would come from?” is “absolutely yes, and he’s done it before.”'''
