Wonder if he's going to use money from his other companies for interest payments for twitter, and then claim tax deductions for those companies because these were interest payments.

FWIW I have no idea how finances work, just can imagine Elon getting into weird loopholes.

He's proven that you can do pretty much anything if wealthy enough and face almost no consequences.

I suspect this is only true if the wealthy people protecting you keep making money.

He can only do that if he owned Tesla and SpaceX outright. But, Tesla is a publicly-traded company with tens of thousands of shareholders that’ll sue him into oblivion if he tries that.

SpaceX is privately-held, but has raised billions of dollars from dozens of investors, so that won’t fly neither.
