My assumption has always been that they think over a long enough time scale their investments will become basic defacto infrastructure. Prob entirely wrong, but that's been how I've seen it

If their end goal is having the profit margins of an electric company, then these valuations are pretty hard to justify...

They could just invest early into a low-margin yet large piece of the pie that will grow into a multiple of itself.

PS: not too fond of WeWork myself, but that's how I could see it.
