Only 7.1 billion out of 44 billion is from outside investments. The remaining ~36 billion was paid by Musk.

People need to stop with the conspiracies. Musk isn't playing 4d chess by tanking Twitter, he's just an idiot.

33 Billion was equity. $13 Billion was loans.

Musk's contribution is close to $25 Billion and likely puts him at 60%+ majority control of shares.
