Why not? They haven’t left him even as he’s done little but dilute them to stockpile cash.

Every day our world is becoming just that tiny little bit more stupid

Not true, on many days it becomes enormously more stupid.

From storytelling to investor POV, does it a good story to frame this as entering the AI era through a digital service that everyone familiar with?

Are there still large shorts on GameStop? If this goes through I assume it will wipe those out?

No. Short interest is at 15% and cost to borrow is .36%.

Can we please not? eBay is one of the few places I still enjoy on the web.

i don't understand why ebay looks SO terrible. It seems like some broken website where css failed to load.

The Gamestop CEO is an interesting character, he grew Chewy and sold it, did a massive play on Apple stock during the pandemic and used that to buy a 9% stake in Gamestop over time, rode the hype to accumulate $9B while turning the company around and closing stores that weren't profitable and making it a money making budiness again. And now they already own 5% of eBay on top.

Along the way he says some ridiculous Trump stuff and wasted a bunch of time on NFTs but the eBay play seems interesting at least. It's one of the best internet soap operas to follow. For comparison AMC was put in the same "meme stock" bag at the time and you can see how they managed to ride the hype. So it's not just memes.

That was a sad story. Al Lowe talked about it a couple of years ago on a German podcast.

They have managed to raise lot of money and don't have any proper ideas what to use it for. So this might not be worst possible way.
