I see. That definitely makes 13B way more sane.

They’ve raised $32 billion total. Does it still sound sane?

5B run rate explains the wild 183B valuation better. The calculus is usually a solid return after 3 years and double or better by 5, so they’re being on something like a 500B valuation by 2030.
And they very likely won’t be profitable in the real sense even then.

The $5B run rate, as I understand it, is smoke and mirrors. Each dollar they make costs them much more than that dollar. Sell it at a loss, but make it up on volume!
