The Tesla CEO said on Thursday he could ‘technically afford’ the $43 billion price tag – Musk’s fortune is estimated by Forbes at $264 billion. Much of his wealth, however, is tied up in SpaceX and the electric vehicle company.
Musk currently has about $3 billion in cash or other somewhat liquid assets after spending $2.6 billion buying his 9.1% stake in Twitter in recent months, according to Bloomberg calculations.
The Post said sources close to the deal told them Musk was mulling partnering with private-equity firm Silver Lake Partners, which was planning to co-invest with him in 2018 when he was considering taking Tesla private.
