Yes it does. Hammers are like $0.20 to make, and sell for like $6. And they don’t cost millions to keep working either. This isn’t the example you think it is, hahaha.
Plus even if you just look at it as a tool, it does turn a profit, via being a tool. That’s why a business gets a few, despite them originally costing them money. There’s expected value in the hammer. It exists, physically, and it has turned a profit plenty before.
My intention is that the value of the thing is what it can be used for. Its a tool that can be used to spread propaganda, and control the narrative. For the owner it’s a means to an end. Guess i should have clarified.
A hammer is not a company that has created and maintained a product platform that requires a cash-flow to keep funding development and keep the servers up.
I was intending to use it as a metaphor. Meteors usually are not the exact thing they describe. Its goal doesn’t have to be a thing that turns a profit, when it can be used as a tool in other ways. I didn’t do a good enough explanation of my meaning
Ah was joke reference to the Mad Money tv show stock investor guy, who notoriously has a following of people who invest the opposite of what he recommends
A hammer doesn’t turn a profit either. Its a tool used for a purpose.

That works for privately owned companies-- the current example is Twitter, which is useful for pushing propaganda.
It doesn’t work for publicly owned companies, because public investors are only interested in profitting

Jim Cramer, that you?
I get the other responses as i wasn’t very clear on my meaning, but this confuses me.

A hammer is a tool to be used to smash my testicles into a paste
