SoftBank makes a ton of cash. They have a huge mobile phone company in Japan. They used to have the Japanese monopoly on iPhones. Those are the geese who lay the golden eggs Son then squanders.

He certainly seems to enjoy the same kind of privilege of an infinite rebuy that Elon gets. It really does feel like there's a limit of nine digits on the money counter and once you get more than a billion dollars it just overflows to infinity.
