Severe blows as Musk's company's close to chaos for the second time (8)
I believe the answer is:
twisters
'severe blows' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both types of natural phenomena as well as being plural nouns.
Maybe you can see an association between them that I can't see?
I don't understand the rest of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for twisters that I've seen before include "Devious characters" , "See 14" .)
