  • Elon Musk tweeted late Friday he was "open to the idea" of buying the failed Silicon Valley Bank.
  • A Tesla investor appeared to disapprove of the billionaire's idea, telling him "no thanks."
  • Musk sold about $23 billion of Tesla stock last year to help finance his Twitter takeover. 

Elon Musk said late Friday he was "open to the idea" of buying Silicon Valley Bank after its collapse, but the idea had a frosty reception from at least one Tesla investor.

"I think Twitter should buy SVB and become a digital bank," tweeted Min-Liang Tan, cofounder and CEO of Razer, a company that sells gaming computers.
