The difference is Tesla has the blessing of the Jim Kramer's of the world because it's top down and controlled speculation. It's tech fetishization of a shitty car company and a guy that memes.

Gamestop pumping is both speculative from a bunch of randos online at the expense of hedge funds, which sell their acumen as reasons to invest. If Reddit can take out a few hedge funds it will throw chaos into the expertise market.

This is glorious.
