He’ll feel it because a lot of the deal was financed off of his Tesla stock. It isn’t that Musk will lose money from Twitter; he’ll lose some control over Tesla. Worse, it could push Tesla’s stock price down, which may be an issue as a lot of people shorted Tesla’s stock.
The sad thing is this guy will light $44B on fire, probably lose 99% of it, and not even feel it.
$33 Billion.
$13 Billion (of the $46 Billion deal) was loans from banks to Twitter.
-$2 Billion of debt IIRC before the deal + $13 Billion from banks + $33 Billion from Elon Musk == $44 Billion (46 billion - 2 billion prior debts).
