I was assuming his majority shares of X (ex Twitter) collateral.
And that that he could just go “yeah, go on, collect on your collateral, I don’t mind”, because it’s not worth anything anymore.
But admittedly I have no Idea how the contracts were drawn up, if this is possible and if his other money would be available to collect on.

Absolutely
