Elon Musk Offers to Also Ruin Wikipedia
Behind the X owner’s trolling is a years long obsession with the internet’s favorite encyclopedia, says Depths of Wiki creator Annie Rauwerda.

Does he have a billion dollars to spend right now? He's already lost at least 30 billions of twitter.
Hes down 200 billion due to other stocks tanking so its much worse than that
This is probably a distraction from the DOJ going after Tesla for possibly being a death trap anyway.
Turns out the real Tesla Deathrays were in Elons cars.
Thanks for reminding me that some US Navy warships are armed with legit directed-energy beam weapons.
I'm sure this isn't credible, but:

Credible or not, the guy certainly isn't searching his couch cushions.
You're right, he'll never be poor financially, even if he went to jail. Trump on the other hand, probably the same, lol. His followers would give him money.
Net worth ≠ has that money to spend. You can be worth Y amount yet have very little actual cash depending on the circumstances. Of course, you could also borrow the money depending on how much collateral you put up.
I understand it isn't the same, but when we're dealing with numbers that far beyond human comprehension I'm not sure it matters all that much any more.
Under normal circumstances, maybe, but this guy has made some mistakes lately that mean he’s pretty heavily leveraged and is under some heavy legal liabilities. He’s not as liquid as his valuation might suggest, and due to his liabilities, he doesn’t have the flexibility to just buy whatever he wants right now. Anyone paying attention to recent news can infer this about his financial disposition without knowing the specifics.
His shares of Tesla (660B), SpaceX (150B), Boring Co (7B) and Neuralink (5B) give him all the credit he needs. Plus he's got some good investor friends (as we saw in the Twitter purchase). He doesn't even need to liquidate any holdings.
