Musk owns stock worth billions. Stock is a liquid asset, meaning he has billions in liquid assets. The $2.6T market cap is what the public shares of MSFT are “worth.” They are owned mostly by people and orgs other than Microsoft, meaning that value is not an asset to Microsoft.
Yeah, but by that logic, Musk isn’t a billionaire either.
And as a public company, Microsoft has a lot more options to leverage their equity than a private company or individual does.
