Space hosted Tuesday night, Musk claimed that the company—which he bought for $44 billion in October—was heading for a negative cash flow of around $3 billion. “That is why I spent the last five weeks cutting costs like crazy,” Musk said. “This company is like, basically, you are in a plane that is headed toward the ground at high speed with the engines on fire and the controls don’t work.
