Does he have any cash or is all his wealth in shares?
He has lots of liquid assets (probably billions of USD), but not enough to cover the entire Twitter purchase, so if Tesla crashed, and other things fell a certain way (e.g. he wasn't bailed out by someone else or wasn't able to borrow against other not-so-liquid assets), it could theoretically bankrupt him.
Apparently he had to borrow to buy Twitter.
Rich people have the luxury of not having to buy things with their own money. The richer you are the more access to credit you have and so the more you can buy with other people's money.

Space-X and particularly Starlink are worth an absolute fuckton. Tesla's valuation continues to be about the greatest consensual hallucination in the US equity market (IMO), but that's not the only horse he has in the stall. As long as he continues to cut Trump in, I expect his DOGE bull-shittery will direct ever more public coin into his pockets over the next few years too....
