I think that in this case, “too big to fail” would mean that investors would bail them out rather than let them go under.



If they believe that the company will make money in the long-run. Otherwise it's just putting bad money after good. You can only bail out a company if you believe it will become profitable. You can't subsidize rides eternally, it does not make sense for investors.


Totally agreed, and I believe that’s what the commenter meant when saying that they aren’t too big to fail.
