For that to be true, it would have needed to be worth $44B in the first place, which it absolutely was not. But there is no doubt that his mismanagement has tanked the value of the investment. He's a narcissist so never see it that way, but the whole rest of the world knows that.

I think he realized it wasn't worth what they claimed but he couldn't back out of the deal.

AFAIK he had to be sued into buying it once he tried to weasel out of the deal. So it wasn't for lack of trying definitely 😂😂😂

There was a clause in the contract that said if he backed out he would have to pay $1 billion. Who knew that would actually have saved him way more to exercise that clause.
