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.
