I don’t think Elon has that much liquid. He’d have to sell off a lot of shares of one of his companies, and that would probably disaffect the stock. I wouldn’t put it past him to do that though.
If Elon had an actual liquidity crisis where he had to bring a meaningful fraction of his assets to bear in terms of real monetary value, he’d probably lose control of his publicly traded companies.
