My distruptive startup's business plan: short Tesla, find an Elon Musk lookalike, send him to a fancy place in California, get him to be distruptive and arrested in front of paparazzi (who'll tweet that Musk was arrested), profit! Who wants to invest?

I would send a few dollars your way. But this could actually go either way. If the WSB crowd convinces everyone that "Musk" getting arrested and released after a while and to the underdog image of Tesla, the stocks could go up.

This article is bizarre. No mention that Ma has not been heard from since the Ant IPO was cancelled and he was ordered to Beijing after criticising the government. One of the wealthiest men in the world. The most famous man in Asia. hasn't been seen in 2 years.

I don't think that's quite true. Fairly sure he was seen twice since the Ant IPO. Still, compared to his love for the limelight, that's quite eery.

The CCP will not allow a corporation they cannot control to gain so much power that they can subvert the CCP. This is what they're doing to nip it in the bud.

The next time someone tells you crypto currencies have no worth because of something related to crypto, show them this article and point out humans assign worth to things arbitrarily and without discernable reason and the problem is regulation that doesn't account for that
