Not a big fan of Musk or any celebrity really. I think, his wealth and fame elevates some opinions about how smart and cool he is. But calling someone Vlad the Impaler still isn't as appropriate as calling someone who actually saved lives "pedo guy". But hey, he's rich. He gets to call people out =p Also, not everyone probably wants to hear what most people wanted him to say. Let the super rally be delayed another year, please;)
Everyone is entitled to have an opinion, and that does not exempt celebrities or any of that kind. They will always have an opinion and even if they have ulterior motives we can't be bitter about it, and there is a divide in wealth no matter what happens, they are still going to be more privileged than us simple plebs. If what you are saying that not everyone does not want to hear him is true then why did he go for an interview the first place.

If what you are saying that not everyone does not want to hear him is true then why did he go for an interview the first place. He was invited to this voicechat app called clubhouse, as it is an invite only chatroom kind of like a podcast. Just for celebs only I believe. And people do want to hear what he has to say even if they don't like him in any sort of manner. Whether it be out of spite, jealously or just pure hatred. Or it can be simply a combination of all three of those options. Who knows, everybody is entitled to their own opinion. Am I right? But the sole thing I would imagine which draws attention to this individual is how much money they have accumulated in a short time. As he has surpassed Jeff Bezos just a few weeks ago as the wealthiest man on the planet. And soon on Mars if his little side project/and or hobby is successful enough and can land those rockets without exploding.

Had to snip that photo (I don't if it was way to obig when resized or what ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) ) cause he did look kind of creepy than he does now without hair. He was going to grow up to be a look-a-like to bezos if his tesla/space-x empire was a failure. Cause it does seem his hair-line did reverse recede some how with the amount of money he has made since being the CEO at paypal some 25 years ago. He could pass for a Seth McFarlaine because they look more similar to him now from what others were saying on a stream I was watching earlier about this clubhouse interview. Hey, if I had money, I'd probably look a lot better too. Better clothes, better styles, better eyes. Baldness maybe I can live with heh, but definitely would laser my bad eyesight away. I can see my own headline: Guy sells Bitcoin to get good eyes. Everyone is entitled to have an opinion, and that does not exempt celebrities or any of that kind.

Of course. That's kind of the whole point of them putting out their opinions out there, like we do on the forum. To get a response. Not bitter about it, don't worry (and if I were, too bad). Just having a bit of fun meself, man.

I like Elon. He's smart and likes to tweet things with ambiguous meaning and people love it because they feel smarter when they find they knew what he really meant and did what he wanted. It's like this kind of unspoken gratitude from the author.

They were all looking pretty normal before they become rich and famous, and then teeth got straighter and whiter, haircuts got better, skin got more tanned...

I was simply amazed about how easy was for Elon Musk to never allow any of the fake talk of the Robinhood CEO to go unnoticed. At the start of the conversation he began explaining and pitching Robinhood App! Nobody asked! The poor guy reminded me Mark Zuckerberg early versions were he was not even able to relate with his interviewers. Elon, on the other hand, is totally from another planet. Elon knows how to sway the hearts of the masses, especially on Twitter, with him having a cult following of nerds that accepts as the word of God every thing that he says, it is fairly easy to do that, now imagine if you are a nobody that talks back against a big personality like the guy from Robinhood, you wouldn't be heard or worse, you would be shunned. This is just the basics of public relations and Musk is winning the hearts because he lowers himself for the people to reach him, there isn't a lot of billionaires that accepts guesting in podcasts, be on a cameo on a cartoon show and be a meme lord on Twitter. Thing is he asked the questions almost no journalists had the guts to ask dear Vlad. In my opinion, Robinhood should be dead and buried by now and the filthy little tricks they used to survive should make any robinhood users mad! If I was one, and luckily I am not, I would start a f****** class action! There have already been lawsuits filed but they don't seem very likely to be successful given that the TOS every Robinhood user agrees to states that they understand that Robinhood can restrict trading in any security without prior notice. I mean, they have no legal foot to stand on. The best they can do is hope to drag out litigation to force Robinhood to settle because it would be cheaper than going through an entire court case, but on the merits, it doesn't look like RH customers have a case.

Vlad the ceo of Robinhood did recently do another interview where he was questioned of these pending lawsuits put upon his company for the event which triggered so many to be locked out of trading on gamestop stock. He wasn't as lively as he was during his with elon on that day, let me say that. Quite sobering to be honest. It was with bankless so you can view it for yourself. Elon musk did have a failure to launch (or should I say land) a month ago so he isn't perfect by many who have put him out to be. As he even trolls himself and his companies many of times in the past. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=khUYNDoMpXM![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ibb.co%2FKx5cZjH%2FPullUp.jpg&t=665&c=yrQPqO43uRo2zQ) Doesn't anyone else find it kind of funny he pumped up the price of bitcoin with just one tweet of Tesla buying 1.5bln worth of BTC and his other hobby of a job is running a rocket company? To the moon! ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif)

To the moon! ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) Except Elon wants to go to Mars, not the moon. But To Mars doesn't have nearly the same ring to it as To the moon. I like Elon. He's smart and likes to tweet things with ambiguous meaning and people love it because they feel smarter when they find they knew what he really meant and did what he wanted. It's like this kind of unspoken gratitude from the author.
That's just trolling and being manipulative. Not exactly admirable qualities. I used to really like Elon until it became clear how unstable and immature he is. Promoting Covid conspiracy theories because he's mad about lockdowns, threatening workers over complaining about unsafe working conditions, calling a journalist a pedo on Twitter, tweeting materially false information about Tesla... I mean the dude is smart but also unhinged.

Robinhood and other financial brokers utilize limited $0 commissions on buy and sell trades. $0 commissions may have been invented by south korean cryptocurrency exchanges around 2017, who were briefly criticized for no commission fees. (Said south korean exchanges rolling out $0 commissions may also have been correlated with bitcoin's ATH in that year.) Due to a potential of clients making multiple accounts and buying / selling assets to themselves to manipulate prices without penalty.
This is an area I haven't paid much attention to and afaik there hasn't been independent or reliable commentary made on the topic. Elon Musk could be entirely correct that finance brokers like robinhood are much more unreliable and shady than they used to be.

To the moon! ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) I have never found funny or even successful honestly, I am 100% sure if given the same amount of money some other people who were actually interested in this would have been better at it, hell even if you gave it to MIT and told them to build something like this with their graduates and current students, they would have been successful like this at the very least, probably even better. I also think him impacting the price of bitcoin with one tweet is not awesome but scary, if he decides that he doesn't like bitcoin anymore, what then? Will he write a tweet saying "bitcoin is the worst" or something like that with a meme attach to it and then cause the price of bitcoin to crash? Someone who can pump the price could certainly cause it to be dumped as well, why wouldn't he be capable of it? So at the end of the day, he is not someone I like and want to be in connection with crypto neither.

GME and AMC continue to rally today.
With how speculative these stocks are, I'm surprised people are still playing the dangerous game of trying to hold it and hoping for another rise, but alas they got it. GME and AMC are both up, with GME peaking today at the 300's.
Friendly reminder though - when the stock comes crashing down, there is always someone left holding the bag. And that person holding the bag will lose a lot of money. Trade with caution.

Never have I seen such a PR disaster from any company...
Robinhood literally went from the trading platform for the people to public enemy #1... All in one night.
It is interesting to see GME climbing back up now and whether the reaction from Robinhood and other trading platforms will be the same as the first wave of pumps. I would think that they would at least tone it down a bit, given the fact that they're planning on IPOing in a few months time. Not the best time to create chaos and become the scapegoat behind it all.

It has been pretty even since the last I posted here on the thread. Checked the price last night and it has been hovering above the $189 mark which nobody really thought it would keep it's head above water for this long. Now with the news just yesterday of them appointing Amazon.com Inc executive Elliott Wilke as chief growth officer at Gamestop we will see if the greatest cinderella story of the stonks market can really happen. https://financialpost.com/pmn/business-pmn/gamestop-names-amazon-executive-as-chief-growth-officer
