i feel like it should be called something other than "profit margin" if it's in the negative. or at least "eroding profit margins" is clearly the wrong image to use in this context. more like "sweeping them out to sea, out of sight of the shoreline of profit margins" :p

Because VC money and their patience for throwing said money into an incinerator are both infinite as Sammy Altman knows. VCs would never ask "when do we start making a return on investment?" or cut off a clearly losing bet.

"an early test of the strength of both companies' business models" their business models seem to be burn investors money like there's no tomorrow until they magically make a profit. At least the Underpants Gnomes has something substantial when they stole the underwear and made no profit.

“Drastic price cuts could potentially erode the profit margins of both companies […]” …what profit margins?

What we lack in compelling value prop we make up for with abject stupidity.

How do you write “erode profit margins” with a straight face?!?! When profit margins are negative, it’s called “increase losses.”

That's when the Donlad swoops in and "takes a stake" in these operations...

The idea that they even have a business model is laughable.
