Coincidentally Elon managed to find $44b from unspecified sources to buy twitter.

A lot of it was actually specified. The Opening Arguments podcast did a good breakdown of his funding on their last episode.

TL/DL:
Bank loans, selling a lot of his Tesla shares, share swap agreements with some shareholders, etc... Only about $5bn of it was "cash" that OA wasn't able to find the source of. But notably, a good chunk of his funding came from a prince of Saudi Arabia, which works out to them now owning about 5% of Twitter stock.
