When billionaires talk to each other... it’s like, "Hey, do you want to chip in to go party together? It’ll be fun"

Elon Musk texted Larry Ellison (billionaire, Oracle Corp) - April 20, 2022.

---------

Elon Musk: Are you interested in joining the Twitter deal?

Larry Ellison: Yes... of course 👍

Elon Musk: Awesome.

Elon Musk: How much money? No pressure, but this deal is getting overloaded, so I might have to scale back or eliminate some participants.

Larry Ellison: 1 billion... or whatever number you suggest.

Elon Musk: Any number that works for you. I suggest it could be $2 billion or more. This deal has huge potential and I want you in it more than anyone else.

Larry Ellison: I agree it has huge potential... and it will be fun too.
