Thousands of tweets, reddit comments, and HN comments accused him of being a pump-and-dump artist.
The problem is that he has cultivated an ecosystem of sycophants that can't imagine him doing anything wrong, and then there's just the average person who doesn't follow him closely.
- graderjs 6y agoCool, thanks for that, I'm definitely not the average person, but I'd never seen people calling him that, but searching on your view found lots. Thanks! I think pump and dump is different to what I think he's doing, which is somehow playing the shorts. Like I think he's somehow benefitting from stocks as they crash, TSLA included, and I think he's deliberately crashing them somehow. I have no proof of this, and I don't really care that he does it or not. I just think it's weird people don't see it. It seems he repeated the cycle of "boost, crash" a few times and is happy to do so, with TSLA, BTC, and likely Doge and GameStonk. I'm not an expert on this just a feeling. What do you think about it? :p ;) xx
- kabes 6y agoMaybe the followers know he's doing a pump and dump. Know the issues with that, but don't care since they can likely make decent profit of they follow him closely and act fast in the same way he does.
