Apples and oranges. Tesla is losing money because they are investing massive amounts of capital to improve their supply chain and production capabilities. Uber is losing money because they subsidize rides to try to push competitors out of business. Tesla is actually profitable. Uber? We don't know.
?? I think thats the wrong way to phrase this. Uber is loosing money as Uber and its competitors are giving a lot of incentives to drivers to win business. All of them are loosing money.
In effect, Uber is selling something at a lower cost than it buys, in order to acquire the market.
AFAIR they are not growing as fast as they were, and have been all but outlawed in many places already.
You're talking about a situation where a politician resigns to avoid being impeached or otherwise deposed.
That has basically zero to do with Uber and Lyft leaving Austin. We know exactly what laws Austin has (laws are not secret). And it's not like it's remotely unclear what happened: Uber and Lyft left in protest of the law requiring background checks for them. You could speculate that they were trying to strong-arm Austin into repealing that law, but it didn't work.
But there's zero reason to believe that they were secretly forced out, unlike the case with the politician, where the incentives are obvious.
