FTX would still be solvent if 'SBF was as good at running a crypto exchange as he was at bribing media': Musk

If Sam Bankman-Fried was as good at running an exchange as he was at 'bribing media', the FTX would still be solvent according to the CEO of the social network.

During the three years that Bankman-Fried was CEO, FTX invested in media outlets.

While responding to a question about whether SBF will be able to continue funding media outlets after it filed for bankruptcy, Musk made a jibe against the ex-CEO.

The billionaire hit out at media houses after it was reported that SBF may own a stake in Musk'sTwitter.

I didn't accept the money. SBF/FTX don't own shares in the social networking site.

Musk said that SBF is an investor in the news publication which published the report on Tuesday.

The editor-in-chief of Semafor, Ben Smith, and Musk have been fighting on social media over the report's validity.

The New York Times invited SBF to speak with Andrew Ross Sorkin at the New York Times DealBook Summit.

Is this still going on? The New York Times was tagged.

Musk and Smith didn't reply immediately.
