At one point Musk was within $100,000 of personal and business bankruptcy when Tesla ran short of funds.

I would bet a substantial sum that Tesla was insolvent early in the m3. They suddenly were firing people all over the place and not paying many vendors, and paying others quite late. Additionally, the finance pros kept quitting right then....

I think it went bk, but Musk bet that he could hype up the stock enough to raise cash in the next offering and then pretend it never happened...

If you're that interested, read the Musk biography I linked to in this thread. It's a good read.
