How is this meme of WeWork being a unicorn taken seriously?! They raised $22 billion and currently are valued at under $10 billion. All of that valuation is probably the real estate they bought.

I can literally give you better returns. Give me $20 billion and I'll give you $11 bill back.

Insulting to people who have actually built unicorns to put WeWork in the same category.

ehh... to be fair, lots of companies did much worse. Lots of companies in Fintech during the run up.
