How is Elon Musk funding his $44B offer to buy Twitter

Elon Musk has won the backing of some of the world's wealthiest investors for his $44 billion takeover of Twitter Inc.

Here's how the deal stacks up:

** Musk increased his financing commitment to $27.25 billion, from $21 billion - including the new $7.14 billion funding announced on Thursday

** Musk has secured commitments from banks for $13 billion in loans secured against Twitter shares
