    GameStop shares jumped another 45% in after-hours trading after Tesla CEO Elon Musk tweeted the word "Gamestonk!!" along with a link to the WallStreetBets subreddit.

    Love too have a rational economic system that makes sense

        I've been painfully waiting for days for robinhood to approve my account

          i tried to get in on it when it was at like 70 but didn't realise i can't get robinhood here so i decided to just let it slide.

          now it's at like 150 :deeper-sadness:

            At 70 I was like I can’t buy now cause it’s going down, the Melvin shorts already expired a week ago. Now it’s at fucking 200 and I’m thinking the same.

            Time to get ahead with Blackberry and Nokia.

              it feels like when you decide to stay in instead of going out with your friends but instead of missing out on experiences you're missing out on financial security lol

            Go for $BB or $BBBY or something, they both have high (but not nearly as extreme, only about 60% of their total stock) shorted right now and are both on the up and up. Turns out Black Berry is doing self driving cars now, who would have thunk

      A possible reason he is doing this is that the same hedge funds involved in the GameStop debacle tried to pull the same shit and short/bankrupt Tesla a few years ago. Peak hellworld at the moment

        That tweet 100% just bankrupted them. Not necessarily singlehandedly, but it was Brutus stabbing Caesar. Also WSB are huge fans of Tesla/Elon and he knows that. I'm sure there will be a small uptick in Teslas sold once all is said and done too.
