            It was an inconvenience to be sure, he has a metric f*** ton of money but it’s not liquid assets. He got a lot of people to come in and fund it and then took loans against a small amount of his Tesla stock.

            Realistically though it didn’t put him in any serious trouble, any ended up with a propaganda media company.
