So he’s either paying for a $43 billion distraction or a $1 billion distraction, depending on whether or not he actually wants to own Twitter…?
If the idea was to throw money at these allegations until they go away, Musk could have just paid her $250 million to shut up, and he’d still be getting a deal. Not to mention that taking a suitcase of cash to a parking garage is probably simpler than hitting up Morgan Stanley for $20 billion.
And honestly I don’t think Musk cares enough about sexual assault allegations to put that much effort into trying to avoid them.
