What does this Elon Musk sentence mean?

phrases meaning

Solution 1:

I read the sentence "Breaking even is looking super tight" as "The margin of error in order to break even is small". It means that the profits of the business venture are very close to exceeding the costs given the current trajectory, but there is still a chance to break even.

Some other usages where the meaning is similar:

  • I was parking my car in the garage and almost hit the door frame. It was a super tight fit.
  • I have a test in the morning but I haven't started studying. It will be super tight, but I think if I start studying now I can still make it in time.
