Elon Musk: Sam Bankman-Fried 'Set Off My BS Detector' When He Approached About Twitter Investment When SBF approached Musk about investing in his Twitter bid, Musk asked his banker Michael Grimes, "Does Sam actually have $3B liquid?" After the epic collapse of Sam Bankman-Fried's entire crypto empire this week, even Elon Musk took a moment from his extremely chaotic week at the helm of Twitter to declare that he never trusted SBF, who stepped down as CEO of FTX on Friday when the company filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. Bankman-Fried reached out to Musk back in March through their intermediaries (in SBF's case it was William MacAskill from FTX's Future Fund philanthropic arm, which shut down on Friday) to express his interest in investing in Musk's bid for Twitter. That news came out in September when Musk's text messages leaked through a legal proceeding.
