Changpeng “CZ” Zhao, founder and former CEO of Binance, did exactly that. He posted a screenshot, showing an article about Binance throwing in $500 million to help Elon Musk buy Twitter (now X), and captioned it with a confident, “Happy to have contributed to the cause.”

Who all bankrolled Elon’s X gamble?​

Elon didn’t pull $44 billion out of thin air. He relied on a mix of his own wealth, bank loans, and backing from high-profile investors. Binance’s $500 million was just one piece of the puzzle.

Oracle co-founder Larry Ellison
was another major contributor, as was Prince Alwaleed bin Talal, who retained his stake in Twitter. Former CEO Jack Dorsey also joined the list of backers, investing through a private entity.

Big-name venture capital firms jumped in too. Andreessen Horowitz, Sequoia Capital, and Gigafund all pitched in significant sums. Even alleged pedophile and sex offender Sean “Diddy” Combs made the list, investing through Sean Combs Capital, something Elon is constantly criticized for.

CZ casually brags about helping Elon buy Twitter – “Happy to have contributed to the cause”

The three main bankrollers though were the Saudis, Larry Ellison, and Changpeng “CZ” Zhao. Basically crypto , techbros and despots. These next 4 years are going to be..... interesting.
