Eh... this is HN. The goal is precisely to reach BS escape velocity and SpaceX is the model to follow. It's not healthy IMHO (I'm not an economist) but that's definitely the arm race VCs actually fund. Lose for years if not decades, achieve market dominance, squeeze. Very very few winners and for those the path is precisely NOT to follow PnL.
