Nope.

Frankly given the money he's poured down the twitter drain, he needs Tesla to be an ongoing success. I read only last night that they delivered more cars in the last quarter than any previous quarter, so they still seem to be on an upward trajectory.

An interesting read about the large financial penalties twitter are likely to face in the near future, and a prediction that will trigger Musk to make the company bankrupt to avoid having to pay them... https://every.to/p/how-much-longer-can-twitter-last-really

He's still thinking about Trump's return it seems...

More like $46.5bn, as he had to also fund c$2.5bn of closing costs. Funding was roughly... Musk's initial twitter holding - $4bn Musk's cash from selling Tesla shares - $20bn Investors (Larry Ellison and the Saudis) - $7bn Bank loans (secured against twitter itself)- $13bn It seems to be...

The "simple" bit is where you are going wrong. One thing I've learned in my career - largely spent in systems development - is every business and system looks really, really simple from the outside. Share registration: just a list of names, addresses and how many shares each person owns...
