Amazon could have had a wildly profitable quarter by slightly slowing their expansion. Doing so would not kill the company.
It's not clear if Tesla can do the same.

There was a time in the past where Amazon could not have done that at all.
Sure, but how many companies have been in the same position and failed?
The market analysts and financial blogs may hate companies like AMZN and TSLA, but Bezos and Musk will be laughing all the way to the bank because they didn't focus on short-term profits at the cost of long-term innovation.
Remember, every company on this planet has to constantly reinvent itself, or it will be disrupted by someone else. Musk is doing that. Don't listen to the financial blogs and analysts.
