Pets.com, the poster child of dotcom era excess, IPO'd at a $290 million valuation, and never had a market cap that exceeded $1 billion.

Today there three or four companies in the EV space alone that are either outright universally known frauds (Nikola) or where senior management has told investors that they will run out of money before ever making a product. Yet they all have billion dollar+ market caps (Workhorse, Lordstown, etc...)

Rivian, Tesla, and Lucid do have products but are worth $1.3 trillion together. What do you call that if not insanity?
