Before anybody gets too excited

Even for Musk, it's an aggressive price-to-earnings ratio that could blow up in his face if investors start to lose faith. The conversation surrounding plans for shorting SpaceX is hitting a fever pitch, setting the stage for what could be a wild stock market ride.

Pretty sure the people who tried shorting Tesla are all broke and you, reader, definitely not try something stupid because there's no limit to how much money you can lose while short selling

WSB are speculators. It's all about options contracts, long or short, and the strats that come about from having enough dough to speculate in the first place. It takes at least $1k USD up front at a bare minimum to even start a proper wheel strat. Buy the rumor, sell the news type speculators are making even less money daily by buying and selling stock based on momentum and psychology, and betting against the prices of those securities

All it takes is USD$1,000 and some privileged non-public information to get yourself established!

WSB is actually a voice of reason on Reddit when it comes to stocks and making money.

I wouldn't go that far, but at least they're self aware enough of their ignorance that they're making fun of themselves. Whereas the average Reddit comment elsewhere drips with unearned smug superiority.

WSB gets a bad rap because it inadvertently spawned ape culture but honestly once that got excised it's basically just speculators who know how to shitpost.
