Do you think it's reasonable Elon could secure the funding if he wants to? I'm quite confident he can and I think most reasonable people would agree.

however, I'm not confident "anyone" could secure the funding, so they can't "do this"

I am not confident, no.

well, you are incorrect. Per TFA, Morgan Stanley has agreed to lend Musk the money.

That's so unreasonable you should go more into it or just leave it. It's literally the richest man of Earth, banks are falling over themselves to stuff him their money.

Matt Levine went into it yesterday why funding the Twitter purchase might be hard for Elon Musk.

The long and short of it is that the people who would lend him money may not trust him due to his previous (and erratic) statements.

He literally provided SEC a guarantee from Morgan Stanley to lend him the money. That's what OP posted.

Matt Levine is great but he's just an entertainer, and not even a day later we have evidence filed with the SEC that he is wrong.

Rich people generally get that way by learning how to effectively leverage other people’s money.

why not?

I feel Elon Musk could literally mint NFT of his face and sell them to raise the cash
