A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

How does that get him out of the loans?

The lenders lawyer arrives at the Twitter office:

Lawyer: This is Twitter, is it?

Musk: (with a fake mustache) No, it's X.

That makes me think of the theory about Saudi Arabia and probably other countries have had it in for Twitter since Arab Spring.

So this is just Elon doing as instructed: "Make Twitter disappear, but make it look like an accident"

depends how the loans worked.
I was assuming his majority shares of X (ex Twitter) collateral.
And that that he could just go "yeah, go on, collect on your collateral, I don't mind", because it's not worth anything anymore.

But admittedly I have no Idea how the contracts were drawn up, if this is possible and if his other money would be available to collect on.
