During the market collapse on Thursday morning, Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA) CEO secured a further $7 billion of funding for his pending acquisition of Twitter (NYSE: TWTR). Musk secured $1 billion of that from Oracle (NYSE: ORCL) co-founder Larry Ellison, as well as additional funding from Sequoia Capital and the crypto exchange, Binance. There were fears that Musk would need to liquidate even more of his stake in Tesla, but this additional investment has reduced the urgency of the situation. Twitter was one of the only stocks trading in the green on Thursday, as shares gained 2.65% during the session.
