All Elon Musk has to do is tweet “Gamestonk!!” and millions of small-time traders rush to buy. What could possibly go wrong?

and Gene Simmons of Kiss—who are firing up thousands, perhaps millions, of traders and investors. They have blown away the old myth that Wall Street is the exclusive keeper of the keys to wealth, which it will share only with those who are willing to pay a fee.

Unfortunately, a new myth is in the making: that the outsiders know for real what the insiders only pretended to know. If your timing was right, you might have made a lot of money over the past few weeks by following Mr. Musk into bitcoin, Mr. Cuban into dogecoin , or the venture capitalist Chamath Palihapitiya, who has more than 1.3 million Twitter followers, into GameStop Corp. stock or options.

Trump is offline

I know, right? Used to be just the New York Times and commodity markets.

Aaaaahhh pump and dump for his rich friends. Got it.

Oh for gods sake, shut up. No ones holding a gun to anyone’s head forcing them to make trades. If you listen to Musk’s investing advice you deserve everything you get.

Nature of times. Musk triggers a cryptocurrency explosion. Obama's 8 years, took the market from Housing Bubble Peak of 13k to 21k (up 61%). Trump's 4 years from 21k to a New Peak of 31k (up 48%). Biden enters with all positives in, except COVID19 recovery Let AI predict!

Nothing is wrong he is Ironman, Robinhood, Batman and Superman combined who will save human from evil and define the future of the galaxy :)

What could go wrong? The thieving Hedge Funds could lose billions. Too bad.

100% right and I have a feeling someone is shorting Tesla somewhere.

SEC_Enforcement what could possibly go wrong? and why the fuck is non of you doing your jobs?

I would say less people working and more people at home is a huge reason why I know for myself I've been buying and trading stocks more since I'm home alot more. When I was at work I'd check the market but not that much. Also how is this any different from cnbc or others ?

The stock market is a casino now and with everyone having a 401k....we’re all along for the ride 😩

He controlled everything!

Us “small-timers” aren’t stupid. We’re bored. Instead of the thousands of dollars we could have been spending on concerts or going places, we’re entertaining ourselves in the stock market. I’m aware dogecoin is not a real thing, but why can’t we have fun?

After awhile EM lost his sparks, look at doge. I'm disappointed

WSJ has always problem: either with The Great China and or successful people...

The shtick Elon, Chamath, Cuban, etc use is they’re letting you in their rich guy club- follow their lead - big ruse for them to make more $$. Like Ackman crying on CNBC. Better to find other stocks less amped up by lies.

Idk what you are talking about. BEAR GOLD. Don’t let the EAST take over LatinAmerica. Man, I’m buzzed. Lulz.

DO NOT PANIC! SET YOUR EMOTIONS ASIDE. FOR WHEN YOU GET EMOTIONAL YOU START LOOSING. KEEP YOUR SH*T TOGETHER AND HODL!!!! ArmyDogecoin dogecointomoonbacktomars dogecoinElonMusk dogecoin dogecoinNissan dogecoinFord Dogecoinarmy

TINA's fault. There Is No Alternative.

Elon Musk is the Kim Kardashian of Madonnas.

Dont blame the player blame the system... SPAC IPOs left right and center, cheap money, never ending stimulus, what could possiby go wrong?

'What could possibly go wrong?' or possibly go right?

WSJ has missing out envy and probably some other envy issues.

You mean he is the first person to manipulate stocks shocker 😂😂😂

No investor/trader reads WSJ anymore. They are salty 🤣

“Analysts” invited on CNBC can hype up a stock by “recommending it” but somehow when Elon Musk tweets it, it’s problematic.

Musk tweets, all the fanboys jump, prices increase, fanboys are happy. Repeat as necessary. What could possibly go wrong?

So many bitcon traders on Twitter are trickster markdonaldAmeli thank you for opening my eyes to their ways now I’m pretty sure I’ll be able to help others

If snoop doggy dog is buying the stock, am buying.

So we built a culture based on celebrity and billionaire worship,what could go wrong?🤦

We should expect no less from a despot that has turned DC into a militarized zone with thousands of foot soldiers, 10-foot-high fencing and razor wire, reminiscent of East Berlin under the USSR. Biden has formed DC into a vision of third-world dictatorship.

As if CNBC hasn't been doing this all along.

Faux naive faux outrage. Surely that’s always been how the markets work - that people have to trigger movements, so better a tweet than starting a war?

What could possibly go wrong with a hedge fund shorting 140% of the available stock of a company? If the clearing houses didn't shut down trading (buying) for certain stocks, the stock market may have collapsed. Maybe the 'small-time' traders are a little smarter.

Wheelbarrow! tweet.

Aw is Wall Street Journal scared they can’t short stocks like they used to?

Infuriating really

If you're going to be a lemming, prepare to jump off a cliff.

The real question is why didn’t he tell his minions the only stock worth buying in that wsb list was $BB ? 🤔

The Information is neither a solicitation to buy nor an offer to sell securities. The Information should not be used to make an investment decision or for trading or investment purposes.

Yeah and someone just has to tweet “stolen election” and what could possibly go wrong ?

They stand to lose it all 😴... But hopefully they don't though

Even if it weren’t tweeted, you can see who buys what on openinsider

DEFEAT TREASONOUS REPUBLICONS EVERYWHERE, FOREVER

Holy moly donut shnops lol 😂

Is this a challenge? elonmusk

Well done Dogecoin, KuCoinLovesDOGE

*cough* jimcramer *cough*

So angry to see common people do what you always do. You guys believe you still have the power, haha. Fck you .

What do you think hedge funds are doing? The exact same thing.

Trump says I’m buying 100 million doses of vaccine from company A and that’s not stock manipulation?

leverage. you may even move wall street with appropriate

Tiny traders couldn’t make such noise
