      His net worth is still half a trillion more than it was a year ago.

      He didn’t buy shares in SpaceX, he already had them before the IPO

        FYI, that stock is used as collateral for the loans which fuel his lifestyle. When that stock drops to a certain price, those loans get called.

        FFS, he doesn’t have anywhere near half a trillion in liquidity.

          That only matters if lenders a) don’t believe he can pay the loans back, and b) would not themselves be hurt by calling in loans. With how incestuous the Epstein class is, my cynical bet is that he gets away with far too much for far too long

          He does have loans, but a lot of people think he still has them from purchasing Twitter, but he actually went away from that during the Twitter purchase. Im sure its a lot without twitter even, but its not the crazy large number it was briefly.
