Uber lost over $5 billion in one quarter. They can’t afford too much of anything.

Uber didn’t lose $5B in cash. They lost $1.3B in cash at most. Stock based compensation is a cost, but different than straight up losing money.

At the end of the day, if it's part of compensation that they have to pay, doesn't matter? And losing $1.3B is not inconsequential no matter how you look at it.
