There is no doubt he overpaid. But that's more a product of timing vs. his personal management. The entire industry segment is down 50% thanks to the morons in DC and the Fed. As for the loans, they were organized back when rates were closer to zero so I imagine his interest isn't killing him. He has supposedly trimmed the workforce nearly in half which is way more than his competitors trimmed, which will rein in his expense base. He hasn't run off his user base (as some predicted). So his company is now leaner, has a wider audience base (liberals didn't leave and conservatives are now welcome there), and he's expanding the revenue streams vs. being tied to just advertisements which (as Google, Facebook, Pinterest, and others can attest) is shrinking.
Based on the above, I imagine Elon will make out just fine on his investment when he chooses to divest from it.
