At this point it just seems like they’re trying to form the worlds worst band. We have Ted Cruz, Ben Shapiro, AOC, and now Elon Musk. All we need now is Chris Christie to play the drums

Controller freakout

Lol. I know one thing A is hot....well sometimes lol just depends on which version of me you ask lol

Market Makers still suppressing volume on GME today. Clearing houses processing one share at a time instead of lots. Protecting the call sellers for expiring options in the money today. Volume on GME was up to 1.8million trades a min earlier this week. Today only 70k average.

😂😂😂you can’t force a company to make a market in a stock. It’s ridiculous

Whoever picked these two pictures for the headline needs a raise.

LOVEFORLINK Chainlink being forced down against market, 10 bucks and lets give a great project some sugar!

That's the FIRST time she has ever said anything that made sense. Know I KNOW hell has frozen over!! lol

Those hearing is useless , Just punish Wall Street for manipulate market ,they not even trying to hide it

I also think they upload a well built 'bug' to buy time so they can sell doge at primeum and let it's customers take the fall when it crashes by buying it back from Robinhood.. happened in March too! Should get F.B.I. CYBER FORENSICS to do a thorough sweep of software equipment

They didn't just bar GameStop,they blocked us from buying crypto until after it had rocketed up 900% then for sure as expected thier tech issue was solved so they could hook line sinker those that didn't know thier routine into buying DOGE from them knowing it was gonna drop.

Well the double standard of big money tax rates might also be addressed. I hate paying 37% on my small shorty term investments

This what the CEO of Robinhood would say at the hearing” I had to shut down Robinhood for a day!So the hedge funders can make money back on their shorts. But I open limit trading the next day!Because Robinhood mission is to democratize finance for all equally. I did nothing wrong

first time when pure capitalist agrees with communist.. :)

& ten other securities restricted & forced to close positions

Not just game stop all the other stocks they are manipulating and the crypto currencies they are manipulating.

I don't care if she is antiwhite, this is something I can be partisan about.

Robinhood stood on wrong side of the history when change accrue, that's all. Young generation speaking, they are always right, it's their world, always.

Does anyone actually give a fuck what elon musk thinks?

Purely safeguarding the bail out company. What a scam

upNorthmigrl this whole story... its sooo epic

dogecoin TSUNAMI RED ALERT 🚨

The shitstorm continues to rage

synched by a few milli secs did you see? time traveling is possible

okay he can still fuck himself though

Elon ain't on the Redditors side. He simply hates shorting. The other side of hedge funds, and shorting, is its use in rooting out fraudulent companies/products from the market. A lot of hedge funds/investors are shorting Elon's companies.

Never thought I would be thanking AoC, but thank you AoC.

She's favoring billionaires and that sucks!

UNITY!

this story is more insane by the moment. here for the 2021 energy. insane as it is.

And Now people are suing RobinHood for throttling private purchases and sales TD is next. Stock Market censorship

Truth is not what you want it to be; it is what it is, and you must bend to its power or live a lie. Investigation is the pathway to fairness.

💎🤲 $GME papaelon GME 💎🤲

No matter what it takes I will support ELON and find a way to buy a TESLA. SAVE SAVE SAVE.... Good man

Holy shit Batman, even Ted Cruz agrees with her. I wonder what Trump thinks about the matter.

I wonder what GamerPres20XX thoughts on this is.

Go Elon! Btw buy Etsy 🤪

I'll bet $1 that's about the ONLY thing he'd agree with AOC.... Other than possibly...how a proper Manhattan is made.... Oh! Can we legally still call it a MANhatten Or is that to chauvinistic?

This is literally uniting the country lmaoo

This country is going to crap and we have one little group to thank for that. Our anti American regime god help us all

Please stop only calling out RobinhoodApp, multiple trading platforms were involved including: TDAmeritrade WebullGlobal Ally IBKR GME

trade crypto. 100's of exchanges. can't stop them the'y are all over the world. any stock can be represented in crypto aswell only matter of time before the big shift happens. this might speed it all up though.

too much rigging for the rich about time!

Brokers don’t like liquidity risk so ban naked shorts or reputational ie another suicide.

AOC Do you really think you can beat the billionaires? If they want millennials to lose money they have loads of tools to do so. The current moves are just the nicest. They could just crash the market or bankrupt GME. Big boys will let retail back in once they buy tops. Then

Hopefully he’ll agree when she pushes for taxing the rich! elonmusk

PLEASE SIGN AND MAKE THIS PETITION MOON $GME $NOK $AMC

Hopefully Robinhood just lost one potential exit strategy. Going public.

Whats good for the goose.... GetShorty

lol. They waited too long to bar it. The retail to retail trades drove up the price and their balance sheet. That enabled them to overextend their credit. They will be crushed after their final retail to retail trades settle on Friday. Then everyone will be mad they are bankrupt.

rich people just mad because poor people cracked the REAL code to capitalism 💅 no cap

First time I ever agree with you.

Robinhood needs to be sued into oblivion as does TD Ameritrade. Blocking trades because a stock is going up and hedge fund managers don't like that should be a crime.

this is an issue of capital. stop being surprised when capitalists take varied positions on the issue

IT'S NOT JUST ROBINHOOD. ITS A SLEW OF BROKERAGES.

Fuck Robinhood! Criminals!!!

Brokers unprecedently forced ONLY SELL Orders on the reddit gameStop shortSqueeze Stonk Bundle BUT AfterHours OTC are now allowing BUY Trades 2benefit Institutional traders. AM I the only one who sees a DoubleStandard here? End the Institutionalized PonziScheme

He should be held accountable to pump and dump of doge as well . He is doing right now.

I don't agree with it. It was out of their control.

elonmusk finally someone who speaks for us. Thanks

Here we go mf's. Take dogecoin to Mars. The boss man, Elon approves

And by the time this hearing takes place the damage will be long gone and new things will arise. Especially if elonmusk just tweets around his stupid opinions on trends. elonmusk is the new twitter trump.

It’s more than just GameStop

lololol those pictures

Even weirder... Ted Cruz agrees with her!!

its gets stranger by the hour

Godlike thumbnail

🚨 SUE RobinhoodApp and those guilty of MARKET MANIPULATION 🚨 We can never get a chance to play with the marbles. aoc elonmusk

azamjamilkazi

the government needs to come and puts some regulations so this won't happen again. No stock trading company should be allowed to deny us what we kind of stocks we can buy or sell with our own money.

I really want to recommend others to start trading with kathleen_pro trading platform,I’ve had massive growth in my BTC wallet after making several withdrawals from their trading platform,it’s so profitable and secured.I’m doing this because of her legitimacy

Terrible framing. Musk is a complete idiot & him agreeing with something or someone doesn't validate shit. AOC doesn't need support from apartheid assface.

Elon is like Nikola... doesn’t care about the money just wants to push Human kind to highs never seen before. So, I am not surprised by him agreeing. He is and always will be FOR the PEOPLE elonmusk

Vanderdoes94 So they can do insider trading but the public can’t

These large hedge funds, with more information than the retail investor, paid lobbyists, and all that money got beat by a bunch of amateurs and it's controversial? Called gambling? But a trading strategy based on borrowed shares and hoping for a company to fail isn't?

Too bad she's lying, claiming Ted Cruz wants to kill her.

Lmfao who picked the pictures for this

franco_esca

elonmusk AOC Out of these two, I wonder which one will be president first.. Any thoughts?

AOC wants to ban free speech, but not trading. Interesting.

Lol nice thumbnail

What's going to happen elon is married I think.

EVERYONE BUY $DOGE LETS ALL EAT!

A company named after a mythical champion of the little guy. I guess we just found out that free markets are a myth too.

Threefeet3 -.-;;

You know it's a broad support when Elon Musk, Ted Cruz, and AOC are all on the same side.

I never thought in a million years I would agree with AOC.....but this is stock manipulation.

Ok? Who gives a fuck about Elon

Elon instigating!

To any retail trader that had issues buying/selling GME today in Canada. It's high time that this crooked & manipulated system is fixed - Prime Minister Trudeau. FBSOFT fixbaystreetorfiretrudeau

E*TRADE did too. Moving to fidelity.

This is awesome. This is the only day when AOC, Elon, and conservatives agree. Time to bring Orange Man back

If you believe in a free market! Go on all your social media and post the hashtags below! Let's take American Airlines to the moon! FreeAmericaBuyingAmerican FABA AAL

When the SEC pauses a stock it is still an equal playing field because no one can sell or buy. When a retail broker blocks only retail traders from buying it is manipulation! This is crazy!

Thank you Elon . . . innovator and visionary!

Imagine going to college for four-six years to study markets only to realize that humans aren't rational creatures lmao. Also please regulate Tesla next

Can't believe it but We agree with AOC.

The only reason he is on that side to investigate 'RobinHood App' is bc he, from S. Africa, already doubled his wealth in the US & he, as most psychopath, Narcissists, only thinks of himself, wants to stay above the crowd. In the end, who really gives a rat's arse, what he thinks

Was not just Robinhood

Robin Hood: we are restricting transactions for certain securities to position closing only, including $AAL, $AMC, $BB, $BBBY, $CTRM, $EXPR, $GME, $KOSS, $NAKD, $NOK, $SNDL, $TR, and $TRVG.

As much as AOC is right it’s laughable to praise Elon whose become a billionaire via his own special rules. 🙄

Include this sham in the hearings, where it is admitted that retail investors get locked out so that the brokers can limit their potential losses from theirs and short sellers insolvency! Delightful!

It’s not just GameStop. It’s AMC, Naked Brands, etc. absurd

You know it's bad when AOC , elonmusk , and DonaldJTrumpJr all end up on the same side

It’s Wall Street vs. the AMERICAN PEOPLE. STAY STRONG 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

And then Tax the Rich. And pass sane financial regulations.

... and unlike SenTedCruz, he didn't instigate an angry mob that wanted to kill (AOC ) her.

So he’s trying to avoid being eaten.

BUY AMC AND SELL GME, AMC is the next GME

This woman’s entire purpose in life is to destroy Capitalism. You may think that’s a good idea, but when you can no longer get anything from stores (including food) you may reconsider - of course it will be way too late then.

She doesn't have the IQ to even know where to start

maybe also take a closer look at some misleading and biased reports by Business Insider...

Can you imagine what would happen if congressional members were barred from trading stocks they receive intelligence briefings on?

Elon should hustle up Sandy Cortez. First date could include some ink and nice piercings for the congresswoman

And Stash too please

Get em. They're supposed to be brokerage firm yet they bent the knee to Citadel and screwed over alot of people.

be nice if Elon agreed with her to hold the Republicans that tried to get her murdered in the capitol accountable

Yeah and hoding crypto is very risky because of the volatility in the crypto market, you can make good profits from trading with alice_walter_ on an auto trading platform and add growth to your hodlings, as I’ve made several withdrawals from their trading platform into my wallet

It's become clear to me that so many people giving input on this situation don't realize many/most Americans are forced into the market by their employers as the only option to receive retirement benefits. Spread the word. fidelity

This is a great picture of elonmusk

It's one thing to lose money because of earnings or bad news. It's another when a platform sabotages people and prevents them from buying; that affects everyone not just the traders on a certain platform.

They literally say there's risk involved in stocks. You can't suddenly change the rules when that risk applies to you.

he is only in it for the smoke show

Go back to your crypt, Emerald Ghoul

I cannot stress enough how little I care what emerald mine baby thinks.

They need to give us the pre-market price of 22 dollars a share! We got robbed today

ELONGATED MUSKRAT

Raise your hand if you closed every thing you held on Robinhood EXCEPT the short squeezes today ✋

of course he does he lost money on this too i bet

I love how the rich are like buy my eBook, books, courses, audiobook and pay to go to my seminars and I'll teach you how to become rich but the poor figure out away to help each other by forums and chats and the rich get mad and salty....

This ain’t about money anymore, it’s about sending a fuckin message. 💎🤚hold the line ✋💎 🦍 Apes Together Strong 🦍

She’s a commie b*tch but I agree with her on this too

shout out to my homeboy robin hood.. look at him represent nottingham.. good on ya son

One time I agree with AOC

RobinhoodApp wsbmod WSJ

Everyone who can, should exercise your GME call options. Find all the money you can and exercise it. This will force them to buy stock and drive the price up!! Spread the word!!

Doesn’t musk use his name to bump up Bitcoin and dodge

elonmusk You and the other conscionable elite should help them hold the line and fight back against the crybaby hedge funds and Wallstreet Insiders. BuyAMC BuyGME

Go after Goldman Sachs and the fucking Hedge heads!

Biden administration is in the pocket of the hedge funds. Just like Trump said.

No need. A class action lawsuit will resolve this without government intervention. Congressional hearings are just going to lead to politicians who don't understand this trying to pass new regulations about it.

Hurts.. doesn’t it... it’s ok when the big investers create same movements in the market...💁🏼‍♀️💁🏼‍♀️💁🏼‍♀️

Android Apple

Rate ROBINHOOD 1 star in the App Store! This is collusion. The elites trying to stop the people!

CancelRobinhood cancelrobinhoodapp quitrobinhoodapp

So did the European trading apps barring me from joining the troll fest.

Looks like Robinhood just took a job with the Sheriff of Nottingham

💯 blaze a phat ass joint to that!

So funny considering what happened with GameStop was the same thing that has been happening with Tesla (FOR TWO YEARS)! Our govt. really is a bunch of crooks.

grifinapp is a safer alternative. healthy emotions, no monthly fee, and personalized automated investing.

who gives a fuck what elon musk thinks?

This pictures is great

nice shirt

And Express and AMC and Blackberry and Nokia and....

Smoke a blunt to that!

What’s next restricting Tesla

elonmusk please diverisfy into commission free trading We will pateonize this new platform and leave RobinhoodApp

😂😂😂

Robinhood should be sued for all their money. This is actual manipulation of markets. If they IPO it’s not gonna be pretty for them. They potentially lost billions because of their actions today.
