Holy smokes this guys twitter is bursting at the seams with movie-clips and memes.

I saw: Snatch, Peaky Blinders, Pirates of the Caribbean, Men In Black, Tombstone, The Good the Bad & the Ugly, Marvel, Sherlock, Fast & Furious, Gangs of New York, V for Vendetta, Ready Player One, Game of Thrones, Ferris Bueller's Day Off, Breaking Bad, The Matrix, and X-Men.

Each impeccably captioned with large text, set to music, and carefully edited / mixed together. In the span of like 9 hours

These tweets were chosen for maximum superstonk hype, and had a lot of effort put into them. He chose themes of vengeance and male action-movie anti-heroes, He knows exactly what his audience will lap up.

It's so gross, but like in a kind of impressive way.

I hope he had a real long talk with his lawyers to be 100% sure this also won't count as market manipulation.

Matt Levine has an amazing newsletter about this today. Relevant excerpt:

In the hypothetical trade in Question 7, would the US Securities and Exchange Commission have a case against him for market manipulation? In your answer, make reference to (1) the fact that the tweet doesn’t mention GameStop at all, (2) the recent decision by a federal judge in Texas that actually pump and dumps are legal and (3) the 2023 decision by a federal judge in Washington, DC, that the moon emoji is securities fraud.

We live in a crazy world.
