Elon Musk says he's 'open to the idea' of buying Silicon Valley Bank, but a Tesla investor tells him 'no thanks'
Elon Musk tweeted late Friday he was "open to the idea" of buying the failed Silicon Valley Bank.
A Tesla investor appeared to disapprove of the billionaire's idea, telling him "no thanks."
Musk sold about $23 billion of Tesla stock last year to help finance his Twitter takeover.
Elon Musk said late Friday he was "open to the idea" of buying Silicon Valley Bank after its collapse, but the idea had a frosty reception from at least one Tesla investor.
"I think Twitter should buy SVB and become a digital bank," tweeted Min-Liang Tan, cofounder and CEO of Razer, a company that sells gaming computers.
Musk said in a short response "I'm open to the idea," without giving further context.
—Elon Musk (@elonmusk) March 11, 2023
One Twitter user backed Musk's idea, saying "what an opportunity," but another called Sanjay responded: "And sell another $20 billion worth of $Tesla stock. No thanks!"
Sanjay's Twitter profile describes him as a "Tesla customer and investor, bull and Elon fan." Insider couldn't verify whether the user was a shareholder or the size of his holding.
Musk made a series of Tesla stock sales last year to help finance his Twitter acquisition, helping to depress the share price. The CEO sold stock worth $8.5 billion in April, $6.9 billion in August, $3.95 billion in November, and $3.6 billion in December, totaling almost $23 billion.
Silicon Valley Bank was shut down on Friday by US regulators following a run on deposits, Insider's Sindhu Sundar explained. Startup founders moved to withdraw funds on Thursday, rattled by the bank's falling stock price that followed a capital raising announced on Wednesday night.
The bank is now being handled by receivers, potentially delaying access to deposits for a considerable period of time. Some hope that a buyer will come forward this weekend to avoid such a scenario.
Musk and Sanjay didn't immediately respond to requests for comment from Insider, made outside normal working hours.

Where Were the Regulators as SVB Crashed?
Silicon Valley Bank’s failure boils down to a simple misstep: It grew too fast using borrowed short-term money from depositors who could ask to be repaid at any time, and invested it in long-term assets that it was unable, or unwilling, to sell. When interest rates rose quickly, it was saddled with losses that ultimately forced it to try to raise fresh capital, spooking depositors who yanked their funds in two days. The question following the bank’s takeover Friday: How could regulators have allowed it to grow so quickly and take on so much interest-rate risk?

SVB's lightning collapse stuns banking industry
The rapid unraveling of SVB Financial Group has blindsided the banking industry after years of stability. The collapse on Friday, the largest bank failure since the 2008 financial crisis, had a unique set of circumstances but raised questions about hidden weaknesses that could have consequences for customers and employees and potentially highlight issues in other banks. SVB's plight could lead to a loss of confidence, tougher regulation and investor skepticism about the financial health of smaller banks that were seen as adequately capitalized after regulators forced banks to hold more capital in the aftermath of the 2008 crisis, experts said.
