Shares of GME, which were briefly halted for volatility, pared gains to about 20%. AMC finished the day up roughly 10%.

So is my understanding correct that only institutional investors are allowed to benefit from making outrageous public claims about the health of companies regardless of the claims basis in reality?

I don’t think they have any legal basis just because he put a screenshot of his account, twice, plus an Uno card. That is it… that is outrageous if they censor him for that. Extremely unfair to retail traders.
