      $13 Billion debt means $1.3 Billion/year interest payments.

      I’m pretty sure Elon can pay that btw. But I’ll be watching from the sidelines for that shitshow.

          My 10% estimate is assuming April 2022 (edit) market, when the deal was signed.

          It could be as high as 15% depending on circumstances. But yeah, consider the 10% number an underestimate.

          Rumor is that half the debt was variable and half the debt was fixed. Suggesting about 13% or so interest today.
