Also it's not like most people's wealth (if they even have any) is liquid either. Most is probably tied up in retirement accounts, real estate, or funds for unforseen circumstances that you wouldn't touch for ordinary needs.
Elon buying Twitter is really an outlier to begin with, since otherwise there are basically no single expenses that would require that amount of funds to be liquid.
Especially with the mentioned loans, there really is more than enough liquidity available to buy anything you'd ever want.
