Who knows if it was two days away from bankruptcy, but Tesla and SpaceX were very close to running out of money in 2008:

Also where were you during 2017, 2018 period when the doomsayers (aka TESLAQ) predicted the same so often? So much so that this tweet became famous?

I don't dispute that they were close to running out of money, but what does "2 days" even mean in that context? It probably means that soon they would have needed to decide when to start the bankrucpty procedues or something.
