Note the bit where it says (paraphrasing) that the banks couldn't shift the loans 2 yrs ago, but now Musk has the presidency, folk can't wait to get a piece of the action!
Banks sell down more X debt; just $1.3 billion now left on their books
Banks led by Morgan Stanley have sold to investors another chunky portion of loans that formed the $13 billion debt supporting Elon Musk's $44 billion acquisition of Twitter, now X, in 2022, a source with knowledge of the deal said.

The irony of people doing this fake virtue signaling (after an entire campaign rife with fainting spells over the cost of eggs), is that their political deity is famous for manufacturing his clothing outside the US and for failing to pay American contractors.

Always my favourite thing when academics do the hard work to prove the thing your gut already knew to be clear and true.
Misinformation isn't random - it's strategic. 🧵
In the first cross-national comparative study, we examine 32M tweets from politicians.
We find that misinformation is not a general condition: it is driven by populist radical right parties.

I'm not a lawyer/financial advisor but here's a tip. Spain may introduce a 100% tax on house purchase for non-EU citizens. Only a proposal at the moment, the bill needs to pass through congress which could take as little as three months, so still time to grab a bargain.
