Here's a tech reporter writing about SpaceX and it's valuation compared to Amazon. His point seems to be Amazon makes a profit, and SpaceX has not made a profit yet.
Umm..... what does that matter Mr. O'kane? You have not only missed the point, you didn't even make it to the right ball field.
- SpaceX does space stuff. Amazon sells consumer stuff. That's not apples to oranges. That's squirrels to watermelons. The only thing the two companies share is selling stock on an exchange. O'Kane chose them because they have similar high valuations. That's pointless comparison.
- SpaceX literally IS the future. Not only have they surpassed every human record in launching technology to space, they have an unlimited future ahead of them. For SpaceX, the sky is NOT the limit. The entire solar system is.... at the moment. That might one day be the entire galaxy.
- Amazon, on the other hand, has pretty much reached it's limits. There can be fine tuning left ahead, and maybe a few new ventures to swallow up, but Amazon already sells pretty much everything they can. Their market might grow, but the fractious nature of national politics has become their limiting factor.
Some day in the future may find Amazon shipping toothbrushes and spatulas to Mars, but they will travel on a SpaceX ship, arriving at Tesla spaceport.
