You have to wonder what it was about though - was it a coup similar to Altman and OpenAI? Was it a "Hey you seem more focused on other projects so you should just focus on those since that's what you want" thing? Was it that Jack didn't get to have his way on every little thing?

Although he didn't invest more into Elon's deal, he left what was at the time about $1B in Twitter shares in the deal.
