How did he get the tens of billions in cash he personally put in if not leveraging Tesla. Yes he had minority investors and put some debt on the acquisition itself, but he put up a lot of money.

Elon Musk is limited to borrowing against pledged Tesla shares, with the total loan amount capped at the lesser of $3.5 billion or 25% of the value of the pledged shares. Musk's current holdings of about 411 million shares and 238.4 million pledged shares as of April 6, 2023.
Here's a breakdown:
25% Loan-to-Value Limit:

$3.5 Billion Dollar Cap:
Musk's borrowing is also limited to a total of $3.5 billion.
Pledged Shares:
Musk currently has 238.4 million shares pledged as collateral for his loans.
Overall:
Musk is borrowing against a portion of his Tesla stock holding, subject to the limits set by the company policy.
