    It’s not that the CEO himself was Q like. It’s that SuperStonks went nuts about how the CEO had a plan he was telegraphing to them through coded messages. I am NOT going to try and look at that cesspool to find examples, but it’s pretty much all they posted about on reddit.

      You aren’t kidding. I bought 2 shares at the start of the hoopla just for fun. Then I watched as that subreddit just slowly went off the rails over the next several months. People could not accept that “DRS and HODL” wasn’t making everyone rich, so they started inventing looney tunes conspiracy theories.

      I do appreciate the spotlight it put on the abomination of hedge funds, but ultimately there’s no real change to be had out of this. That was proven when Robinhood or whatever it’s called got off scott free in their lawsuit a while back.
