...The Tesla CEO only owns 9.2% of his total stake in Twitter, so it took him several years to recover his capital from his shareholding in Twitter.
9.2% of Twitter shares were acquired by Elon Musk in January 2012 for $2.64 billion. After the completion of the deal in October 2022, which cost Elon Musk $44 billion, Twitter became a private company. Thus, Elon Musk became the owner of social media Twitter, buying 100% of the company shares.
