When would Uber get to profitability? “We’ve been profitable in a number of cities for years. We raised a lot of money to invest in our operations. We can stop investing [whenever we want] and get profitable,” he said.

And maybe March too, I don’t know,” he said. “How could both of those things be true at the same time?”
