Was this some elaborate stock exploitation?
I don't mind the investigation but this whole thing, especially all the hate, like he ruined short sellers lives ( the stock is way down since the tweet ), is insane to me.
- harryh 8y agoI actually do think your linked tweet is problematic (though on a much smaller scale than the "secured funding" one). While obviously a joke, it was at the very least an irresponsible one from a public company CEO and definitely could be viewed as an attempt to manipulate algorithmic traders via the dissemination of misinformation. CEOs have a legal duty to their shareholders and the public to communicate about their companies in a clear an honest manner.
- leesec 8y agoI guess anything 'could be viewed as an attempt to manipulate algorithmic traders' then. At what point did obvious jokes become illegal?
- harryh 8y agoI don't personally think this tweet is illegal however I do think it's irresponsible.
- gamblor956 8y agoIt's not an obvious joke to people who don't speak English as their primary language.
