SpaceX, Tesla alive by skin of their teeth: Elon Musk
SpaceX and Tesla CEO Elon Musk at a recent event said the companies are alive by "skin of their teeth". He said that in 2008, SpaceX's Falcon 1 rocket failed for the third time while Tesla almost went bankrupt two days before Christmas. "I gave both SpaceX and Tesla a probability of less than 10% to succeed," he added.
