“Coincidence”
Billionaire investor Chamath Palihapitiya says GameStop's rally is no different from how Wall Street missed out on Tesla's surge businessinsider.com/chamath-paliha…
The “unpredicted” $Tesla rally caused the stock to go up to 3 times the value of the top 2 us automakers combined, despite the fact that they together generated 10 times more sales than Tesla. forbes.com/sites/danrunke…
Some say GameStop isn’t Tesla. But it sure looks exactly like Tesla.

Pyramid Scheme
Bitcoin soars 14% after Elon Musk namecheck on Twitter reut.rs/3cl96nH
In 2018, Elon Musk settled his SEC fraud charges after he again used his Twitter account to pump $tesla stock prices, tweeting he could take Tesla private at $420 a share, with “420” a clear troll and reference to his cannabis ‘controversy’ sec.gov/news/press-rel…
Elon Musk: “I have no respect for the SEC”
In 2019, Musk continued to tweet misleading information about $tesla, causing a rise in stock price again, putting him in contempt of his settlement space.com/elon-musk-tesl…
Musk’s 2018 and 2019 stock pumping schemes were in response to hedge funds like Vilas Capital Management and market analysts shorting Tesla stock, believing it was already overvalued marketwatch.com/story/tesla-is…
Vilas Capital Management was party to a shareholder lawsuit against Elon Musk for that tweet activity, which cost them millions on their short bets reuters.com/article/legal-…

McConnell isn’t playing poker, he’s playing chess.
If he can’t keep the filibuster while Democrats control the Senate, he will use it against Democrats to obtain more power when Republicans regain control of the Senate. His goal is always more power that is harder to take away.
“"The important thing for our Democratic friends to remember is you may not be in total control in the future. And any time you start fiddling around with the rules of the Senate you always need to put yourself in the other fellow's shoes” nbcnews.com/politics/congr…
In 2013, Harry Reid eliminated the filibuster for all Presidential nominees, but left it in place for legislation and Supreme Court nominees.
“You’ll regret this and you might regret it even sooner than you might think,” McConnell warned. politico.com/story/2013/11/…
