CZ disclosed that Binance's SPCX shares, acquired through its $500 million investment in the Twitter takeover, are now worth more than $1 billion, while asking Musk for support rather than trolling. He offered rough math on a hack's impact: roughly $6.x billion lost, $3 billion frozen, and $1.x billion covered by the SAFU fund, leaving a gap of about $2 billion. CZ said the remaining shortfall is painful but manageable, acknowledged losses might be slightly higher, and stated Binance will cover them.
