Elon Musk just shared how Tesla came within hours of dying on Christmas Eve in 2008, and it's incredible to think how much of the future was hanging on those final hours “It's difficult to imagine here in 2026 that Tesla actually, you know, has come close to death multiple times, actually 2008 was the worst, and that's where we closed the financing round at 6 p.m. on Christmas Eve, 2008. It's the last hour of the last day that it was possible We were to bounce payroll a few days after Christmas if the round hadn't closed. So that was pretty stressful” The millions of Tesla vehicles on the road today, the factories around the world, the Supercharger network, the breakthroughs in energy storage, autonomous driving, and now humanoid robotics. None of that existed at the scale we see today Everything Tesla has accomplished, and everything Elon is still building toward, traces back to a company that was just days away from not being able to pay its own employees
