Impressive... at populating our visual world with more slop? Sure.

Would this be impressive in terms of convincing you to buy something or teach you something or entertain you?

Genuinely asking.

Google also has a stake in xAI... so they are financing themselves too

Yep, and they pay them like 900 mil per mo for it, pretty crazy from the company that first brought TPUs to market

There really should be a domain authority check so people can't randomly submit HN news links to spammy websites.

Do you understand that these shares are not awarded, though? He has to BUY them, so if they are worthless, his comp will be too.

Shorts are nothing but future buyers.

It did, actually!

Gets paid compensation in stock. So if shareholders lose value, he does too.

Super interesting how so many people on HN seem to have a more negative sentiment towards GameStop and its CEO than Amazon.

What was the bait? Unless you suddenly feel like you can't support your initial argument with legitimate, objective sources

If you think buying BTC is crypto nonsense just wait until you hear about another public company, MSTR

Headline-driven market is a thing, not sure why meme stock investors are part of this? How are they connected to this news?

Also, what's a meme stock? How would you define that?

...because you decided so?

GameStop has no crypto, are you trolling?

They did have an NFT marketplace but it was shut.

What dramatic statements are you on about? Have you read/listened to him at all?

Ryan Cohen rarely does interviews & Lauren Thomas is one of the few journalists he agreed to speak to, they had an interview earlier this year - https://www.wsj.com/finance/stocks/gamestop-ceo-plans-e8440c...

If you check eBay & GME's stock prices after the announcement, the market seems to think there are at least serious discussions here if not more.

> an attention stunt, of which Cohen has done a few since GME became a meme stock

What would be these few attention stunts he did?
