I believe it, but it's kind of stupid that GS or JPM "analysts" can "downgrade" a stock and move it by 4%, and this happens literally every day, but some guy who is going to put humans on Mars and fly them around th

What a joke, there are plenty of scumbag and criminal leaders of corporations and this is the guy who doesn't walk. It'll be a sad day for the world if this guy goes to jail.
