Alternatively he can just take loans against AMZN stock.

It's how Elon Musk finances his business. Musk has leverage ratio around 40% of his TSLA holdings.

Whether you should mortgage or sell your Amazon stock obviously depends on whether you think the price of Amazon stock will go up or down. The comment you're responding to explicitly assumes it will go down:

In this case, taking out a loan against the stock is a terrible idea.
