You can compare to phones, cars and satellites but the best comparison would be of course HoloLens development costs and Facebooks acquisition of Oculus. I couldn’t find how much Microsoft spent on HoloLens but insiders that I talked with mentioned an investment bigger than Magic Leap. Magic Leap developed an entire platform and also tried to develop content, not just glasses. A lot of that effort was wasteful and mismanaged, but likely not by an order of magnitude. I don’t think the word “scam” is appropriate here though. Just poorly managed.
