After this, as per the reports provided by Semafor, Fried said that he supports Musk’s plans for Twitter but he would not be able to invest new money in Twitter. After all this got published, Elon Musk denied all of this calling Bankman Fried owning a large stake in Twitter false.
“Man, everyone including major investment banks — everyone was talking about him like he’s walking on water and has a zillion dollars, and that was not my impression,” Musk said. “That dude is just — there’s something wrong, and he does not have capital, and he will not come through. That was my prediction.”
There was also conversation between Musk and SBF regarding SBF also considering to buy Twitter and that he will contribute $8 to $ 15 billion for Twitter’s purchase but then Bankman backed out of this acquisition.
Since then, Musk has repeatedly dissed Bankman-Fried on Twitter. Earlier this month, Musk said on Twitter Spaces that his “bullshit meter was redlining” when he first met the FTX founder.
