“Let’s Gooooo!!!” – GameStop Halted After Surging On Billionaire Call-Buying Tweet

Just when you thought it was safe to pile into the shorts again after yesterday’s utter farce in GME shares, this morning has seen the mockery continue.

A pre-market buying panic was sold into during the cash session and was about to erase all the gains when suddenly, none other than billionaire VC Chamath Palihapitiya tweeted the foillowing…

Lots of $GME talk soooooo….

We bought Feb $115 calls on $GME this morning.

And GME shares immediately spiked higher and were halted…

So while yesterday was a Robinhood vs Citadel cage-match, today is billionaire (Ken Griffiin) vs billionaire as Chamath sides with the WallStreetBets crowd…

It’s not reddit vs Ken Griffin…

It’s Chamath vs Ken

We have a billionaire vs billionaire rumble in the jungle

Where today will end is anyone’s guess… two billionaires enter, only one will leave with a profit.
