You missed the larger news which is NASDAQ is changing its rule to accomodate SpaceX etc. It used to take 3mo seasoning period before a public company can be included into the index, but it’s 15 days now. Plus it used to require 10% floating share but now it removed that (so SpaceX’s 4% is possible) and 3x float cap for index weighing. And 4% of a $2t market cap is $80b, which is a lot of money but not enough to stop market manipulation—like Elon and co can keep buying shares to make stock price go up because ultimately, stock market is function of supply and demand as well. To make it worse, Elon and co can borrow money based on propped up market cap to fund the buyback. The entire thing is financially engineered house of cards because regulations, rules and govt institutions that prevent this no longer exist… but ultimately, everything has price… guess who’s going to pay the price.

You didn't hear? To fix that, Trump changed the real US flag to have 11 strips and included "Trump Mobile" at the bottom!!
