The bubble is really big. If they don't accept the VC, they will never be able to get out of it:
NIO $9 billion
Xpeng Motors $7 billion
Weibo $2 billion
Zhihu $200 million
Let's take a look at L2, which has few real users:
1. arb: more than $8 billion
2. op: more than $7.9 billion
3. strk: more than $7.3 billion
4. zk: more than $4.2 billion
This world is so absurd. I think these project owners and VCs know how big the bubble is, so they will definitely ship it by any means necessary.
