In a fresh filing with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Musk said that the funding is provided through two debt commitment letters from Morgan Stanley Senior Funding, in which the bank commits to offering a series of loans worth $25.5 billion.
The remaining $21 billion will be managed by Musk on his own, reports The Verge.
“Notably, the filing does not list any equity partners to share the cash burden with Musk,” the report said.
The filing also made it clear that Twitter has not formally responded to Musk’s offer.
“The Reporting Person is seeking to negotiate a definitive agreement for the acquisition of Twitter by the Reporting Person and is prepared to begin such negotiations immediately,” read the new filing.
