长难句分析
The signthat investors are looking past the billions the company is losing and instead betting on its massive investments in satellites, orbital data centers and artificial intelligencewill pay off in the future.
主干：The sign...will pay off in the future 主语 = The sign（信号/迹象） 谓语 = will pay off（将取得回报/将证明是正确的） 时间状语 = in the future
同位语从句：that investors are looking past...and instead betting... 由 that 引导的从句作 sign 的同位语，解释说明这个"信号"的具体内容 从句内部结构：
- 谓语1 = are looking past（越过……不看/忽略）
- 宾语1 = the billions the company is losing（定语从句修饰billions）
- 谓语2 = are betting on（押注于）
- 宾语2 = its massive investments in satellites, orbital data centers and artificial intelligence（三个并列领域）
理解要点："looking past" 是地道表达，意为"透过表面看本质"或"暂时忽略短期问题而关注长远"；整个同位语从句较长但结构清晰—look past A + instead bet on B 的对比逻辑是核心骨架；本句非常适合用于商业分析类写作中描述投资者情绪和市场判断

答案解析
✅ 正确答案：B

❌ 选项A：错误。文章明确指出SpaceX的市值（$2.1T）已经超过了特斯拉（"larger even than...the electric vehicle maker Tesla"），并非仅靠特斯拉一家。
