I would include SpaceX in that category too.
Somebody mentioned today that reddit has been losing money for 17 years.
edit: my bad, apparently they lost money for 17 years before finally turning a profit about a year and a half ago. Anyway the point is that it can take a long time.

so if they actually find a way to get offered it would make sense to short the fuck out of them, right?

The market can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent.
