    How is this affected by him selling X to his AI company? I know banks don’t like letting you off the hook, but I also know banks do things differently for rich people. I figured that was the reason he did it in the first place.

      according to Reuters , he sold it for 33 billion with 12 billion in debt. So 45 billion total, which is conveniently 1 billion more than what he paid originally. It also says that the banks that lent him 13 billion were finally able to sell. I wonder if the Saudis bought it.
